With the addition of multiple new businesses, Bainbridge’s population and economy has grown over the past few years. This population has also seen an increase in school enrollment, especially for Grace Christian Academy. According to GCA Head of School Sean Johnson, for the past five years, the school’s enrollment has grown from 223 students to almost 370, to the point where waiting lists for multiple grades are needed.
