School Reviews

Went to GPCS from K-12 grade and could not be more thankful for my parents choice to send me to this school. So grateful to have had a Christian education and have had the opportunities GPCS granted me. Some of my closest lifelong friends I had the privilege of growing up with at this school. Teachers care. They get paid less than if they were to work at public school but almost everyone of them goes above and beyond and will stay after school to help any student if they need it on there own time. Education here is so affordable comparatively and in my opinion the best you can find anywhere in Maine.
