A refreshing Christian school! We feel that our daughter has thrived in this environment. Started in Kindergarten and is now in third grade, she loves going to school. I think there are two main differences here that you'd find here. The first is a Christian perspective, truly Christian! "Whosoever will" is not forceful, demanding, or legalistic approach but, a loving Christian perspective. The second is a staff and Administrator that cares for the individual student. I highly recommend Greater Things Christian School.

This is my 4th graders third year at GTCA. He has been challenged academically every year. He enjoys the small classroom environment and the hands on instructions are amazing. It is such a blessing to have Christ in all he does on a daily basis. The teachers are all concerned, loving and certified. The Christmas program was wonderful this year. We also enjoy the Upward sports that are offered. My son has also enjoyed the after school science club this year.
