"2006/2007 School Year - I have been to all the school function, awards programs, teacher conferences and spoken to the Principal and Secretary. I am amazed at the love shown to both the students and the parents that come from this staff. The teachers offer advice on how to practice at home and participate in class. The field trips have been the best. Usually there are 2 children to 1 adult. You really can't get better than that. The safety is the best I have ever seen. The drop off and pick up is smooth and organized with the child safety at a premium. The curriculum is A Beka. If there is anything bad to say it would be that I can't find the font to match theirs. All in all, I treasure this school and look forward to the years ahead."

"As a student of Garland Christian since 5th grade I can confidently say this school will install a sense of respect and character in a student that public schools fall very short of. The curriculum provided is that of a college prepatory school that actually prepares you for the experience of responsibility for your academics as well as your actions."

"A high quality education in a Christian environment. GCA has a respectable sports program. There is alot of parent and family involvement here and it is encouraged. Dr. Coleman and Dr. McCartt are wonderful leaders whose vision has made this school what it is and has always been."

"I went here for my last two years of high school, and had a great education with a great community. Great school, recommended if you're not going for an elite school like St. Mark's or Jesuit. My only complaint is the somewhat weak math program, but it seems to be improving with great new teachers. Highly recommended."

"The quality of the academic program is outstanding. GCA opened up their K-4 class in 2003, and now has K-4 through 12. It is a very structured environment, academically, and opportunities in extracurrucular activities. It is a Christian based school, with strong emphasis on Faith. They have great communication between teachers and parents, and have set expectations for each grade. They have a high involvement with parents, from classroom to the court. The cost of the Academy is worth the education received, and the knowledge the children receive from the teachers, and growth spritually."
