MORE THAN A CLASSROOM

A leading private Christian PreK-12 School in Metro Atlanta, GAC prepares students from infancy through 12th grade for success during their time at GAC, in college, and beyond.

Through rigorous academics, personalized learning experiences and a strong biblical worldview, students are challenged to grow in intellect, faith, creativity, and character.

The GAC Experience

Every aspect of the GAC experience is intentionally designed around how students learn and flourish. Research and care inform everything from classroom layouts and daily schedules to technology integration and campus environments.

An engaging classroom curriculum is complemented by opportunities to learn, create, and apply knowledge beyond the traditional classroom. Across campus, students learn through innovation centers, STEM labs, media and podcast studios, fine arts spaces, athletic training facilities, a greenhouse, a treehouse, a makerspace, and the student-run Spartan Café. At every age and stage, students are equipped to explore their gifts, deepen their faith, and pursue excellence with purpose.

High School

9th-12th grades

Each GAC High School student is set firmly on a path forward. Our private Christian high school program prepares students for college and beyond through rigorous AP and Honors courses, meaningful service opportunities, and a faith-centered community that develops intellect, Christian faith, and confidence.

Middle School

The best high schoolers don't appear overnight — they're built in Middle School. GAC's private Christian middle school program is intentionally designed for this season of tremendous growth — guiding students academically, socially, physically, and spiritually.
