Why GCCA: The Cross Family

Making the move to GCCA has been the best decision we have made for our kids' education and spiritual growth!

We started GCCA in 2017 after visiting this sweet small school a few times. We were blown away seeing what these little brilliant minds could do! And their memory of scripture was so refreshing and mind blowing, we were a little bit shocked! 

Coming from public education, we knew this was going to be a radical move, but so worth it! God is so good and kind as he prepared all our hearts for this new way of learning. We had our fears and doubts if we would truly be able to make the transition from public to Classical and do it well. This was an entirely different way of learning from what our kids had experienced, Especially transitioning with our oldest who was in middle school at the time.  

The welcome and support we received from the teachers, staff, and families was so encouraging to us all as we started this new journey. Not only is Classical education different for the students, it is also so different for us parents! But with all the struggles and hardships we can say that having our kids be surrounded with like-minded families growing in God's Word together has been so good. The confidence we have knowing our kids are being trained on how to think, not what to think, has given us parents such peace and joy. Grace Classical has been such a beautiful experience for us as a family, challenging us all to stretch and grow. The community we have at GCCA has become a huge part of our village in growing our children for God's glory. We are so grateful for everyone who is a part of this amazing school and have complete confidence our children will be well prepared, as they enter into this world as young men and women ready to face whatever is to come their way.
