School Notes
Why is GCCA Classical Christian? In 2022, Grace Classical
Christian Academy was founded by a group of like-minded Christian
parents determined to obey God's mandate that parents are
responsible for educating their children throughout scripture.
Their desire was to find an approach to education that capitalized
on each stage of development in order to develop leaders that have
a wealth of knowledge, the ability to discern truth, and develop
their faith so that upon graduation they are prepared to pursue
God's will. This search led to classical Christian education and
they realized they were looking to instill the paideia of God. Once
this group discovered the classical model, their eyes were opened
to the best way to educate their children. This model does not
intend to prepare children for an occupation, but rather the
pursuit of knowledge, learning, wisdom, and virtue. Admissions
