It's a great day to be a spartan.
Greater Atlanta Christian School is a place that cares actively, innovates wisely, nurtures with intentionality, and operates with excellence in every endeavor.
As a top Infant-12th grade Christian independent college preparatory school in Atlanta, GAC offers more Advanced Placement (AP) courses and world language opportunities than any other Atlanta-area private school, alongside exceptional STEM programs, innovative learning experiences, and a Christ-centered education that equips students for success in college and beyond.
We believe each child is uniquely created by God with distinct gifts and talents, and we are committed to caring for the whole student through academic growth, personal development, and a deepening Christian faith.
Rooted in Luke 2:52, GAC’s mission is to help each child grow as Jesus did, in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

Welcome to GAC
GAC is more than a school. It is a place where students are known, loved, and challenged to become who God created them to be. It is a legacy of Christ-centered education, community, and love, and I am deeply grateful to be part of it.-Middle School Parent
The History of GAC
Longevity is one of the hallmarks of Greater Atlanta Christian School. In August of 1968, GAC first opened its doors to 150 students. Indian Trail Road was just a dirt road. GAC visionaries purchased two farms, consisting of 175 acres, with a dream of building a school that provided "Quality Education in a Christian Environment."
Over the next 60 years, GAC's leadership propelled the school forward while ensuring it remains tethered to its mission. Today, our campus boasts 25 buildings and a dozen athletic facilities on 100 acres. The school is led by GAC's third president in 50 years, exemplifying leadership stability and allowing for long-term vision with intentional innovation. A long list of vibrant and creative alumni have obtained success in more ways than we can count. GAC has passed the test of time with flying colors.
