Summer Updates:
AdvancEd met on June 21 and GCA was approved for
accreditation. Our official certificate of accreditation should arrive sometime
in August. GCA moved from GISA to GICAA. We have officially withdrawn from our
affiliation with GISA (Georgia Independent School Association) and joined GICAA
(Georgia Independent Christian Athletic Association). The roofs of the
education building, church office/preschool building, and OS have been
re-shingled. The trim on these buildings will all be painted white in the near
future. The Gym floor has just been refinished and looks great! The new van
purchased at the end of the school year has been lettered with our Grace
Christian Academy logos.
