With 65 competitive teams across 15 different sports, GAC offers high school students a wide range of athletic opportunities to grow, compete, and thrive. As a GHSA Class AAA school, we are proud of the 64 state championships earned across a wide range of sports. Over 97 of our athletes have signed to play at the collegiate level in the past five years alone! Our Indoor/Outdoor tennis courts and indoor Aquatics Center allow for  private instruction offered by our Tennis Academy and a year-round club swim team. 

With a strong foundation in the Christian faith, we offer traditional, classroom Bible courses and hands-on, worship-based classes. High school students participate in a bi-weekly chapel where they hear from guest speakers, their peers, and GAC's faculty and staff. High school students begin the year off campus with a Spiritual Retreat that sets the tone for worship and praise all year long.

Our popular Student Ministry and Worship Practicum classes offer leadership training to students who are selected via an application process. Students explore the meaning and practice of honoring God through praise, worship, and song. They have the opportunity and responsibility of planning, programming, and implementing the weekly chapel service for their peers. 

The Prefect System,  GAC's student leadership. team, offers a way for seniors to hone their leadership skills while making a positive difference for their classmates. The Prefect System is comprised of student leaders from the Senior Class (selected during their junior year) who possess a high degree of commitment to GAC’s values and ideals. Their influence within our school community is based on their character demonstrated through service to the school.

The capstone program is an opportunity for students to deepen knowledge and skills in a specific area or areas of interest outside of the taught-course model. Students will propose, produce, and defend an individual, guided capstone project demonstrating mastery of these skills and knowledge.

We offer academic competitions that challenge students to develop their God-given talents. Each team builds community among its members by stressing the importance of collaboration. Of course, student minds are sharpened through stimulating, challenging tasks that enhance what they are learning in the classroom. Each option involves engaging competition with area schools; providing students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge; and critical thinking skills under motivating time constraints.  Throughout the school’s history, GAC students have achieved high levels of success in earning regional and state championships.
