We prepare students at every age level for success during their time at GAC, in college, and beyond.
GAC designs and engages rigorous, intentional academic experiences that keep in mind the distinct purpose of each student. Research and care inform every decision, from classroom layout to daily schedules and technology resources.
In the GAC Lower School, our youngest Spartans gain a firm grounding in the academics, faith, and community that will carry them through their educational career. They discover their interests, talents, and the joy of learning through experiences inside the classroom, STEM labs, and across the campus.
Once in the Middle School, our Spartans are challenged and nurtured in an academic community designed to prepare them for the excitement and rigor of high school. A time marked by rich intellectual, extracurricular, peer, and spiritual immersion, this is a phase of tremendous growth.
Each GAC High School student is set firmly on a path forward. Their busy days are filled with opportunities to develop intellect, faith, culture, generosity, and confidence. Our Spartans go into the world prepared for what it has to offer.
We have thoughtfully designed a curriculum to enhance your child’s education for an even greater experience throughout their years at GAC, college, and beyond. We meet students’ academic needs and further ensure student success with our state-of-the-art curriculum planning software and Professional Learning Communities where teachers work to create an aligned educational plan for each student.
GAC's Ethos School is an innovative online platform that gives your child flexibility and choice in the modalities they use to learn. Ethos is integrated into our college preparatory academic environment, so students have more space to pursue their passions while working towards the next step in their education. GAC also offers Hybrid schedules and Zero Hour classes, making it possible for students to open up their schedules for classes that will allow them to specialize in an area of interest.
At GAC we go well beyond learning how to answers questions correctly on a test. Your child will learn to present an argument to the class and defend a hypothesis through a well-researched paper. Students collaborate and learn to reach consensus among their peers.
A GAC education extends far beyond the classroom, instilling the value and responsibility of being a global citizen. Students participate in learning excursions, mission trips, and study abroad opportunities. Last year, more than 400 students participated in authentic service, locally and abroad. GAC also has global partnerships bringing our faith infused curriculum to students outside of the US with our online learning Ethos School.
Your child can grow and nurture their interests by participating in one of the many programs at GAC. Elite tennis players can take advantage of our Tennis Academy. Skilled dancers flourish in our School of Ballet. Musicians are cultivated in our School of Music. Scholars thrive in our 29 AP and 32 honors courses. Students who need additional support benefit from our Academic Support program. At GAC, there is something for every student.
