Elementary Education

The Elementary program at GCA serves students in Kindergarten through Grade 5. Each of our elementary classrooms is led by a certified teacher with a student to teacher ratio of

  • 1:18 in Grades 1-5
  • 1:9 in Kindergarten

Elementary classroom teachers follow the carefully selected learning standards for each grade level to determine their course of planning. While teachers are expected to utilize the curriculum resources provided to each grade level, they are also encouraged to differentiate their lessons in order to engage students of all learning styles and needs.

Student Technology

In addition, technology is thoughtfully and age-appropriately integrated into all aspects of our academic program. We view technology as one of the many tools for learning. Students in Grade 4 and 5 are assigned an individual laptop computer that is used in the classroom.

As a Christian school, we put the Bible and biblical values at the center of all we do. We provide opportunities for our students to engage in a biblically integrated academic program. Students will also have weekly Chapel and classroom Bible instruction which will continue to reinforce a love for God, His Word, and His world.

The school day is 8:15 AM – 3:00 PM.
