Parent Partnership Series

We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with GAC parents to help each child grow as Jesus did, in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. To continue fulfilling that mission, we introduced the Parent Partnership Series in the fall of 2023. By making intentional investments in nationally recognized guest speakers and trusted experts, we have been able to welcome parents to campus for meaningful conversations on vital parenting topics and challenges facing today's students. These gatherings not only provide practical tools and insight but also foster a sense of community and support for parents.
