Our People

Dedicated Admin, Faculty, & Staff

We desire that all GCA faculty and staff members have an active and faithful walk with Christ, a true love for teaching children, and a commitment to the classical, Christian educational model alongside an evident love of learning and mastery of their individual disciplines that inspires students to do the same.
