I love this school. When I heard my 2nd grader explaining to my 1st grader that something they had just heard was a metaphor our choice was confirmed yet again. When given the choice to stay home from a minimum day my son protested, he said "dad I don't want to miss any school". The children here are exposed to art, great literature and science beyond what I expected and they love it. The standards are high and the kids achieve. The Principle speaks of showing the children love, truth and beauty in their Christ centered curriculum. They hit the mark!
My Daughter went to a public school for her Kindergarten year and it was a horrible experience for us. We started her at Grace Classical Academy for 1st grade. What an incredibly wonderful experience it has been to have her at GCA ! This is her third year at the school and she loves it. I am so pleased with everything the school has done to make her into the "school loving" child that she is. One more thing to add...small class size !! This is another one of the wonderful features about this shool. If you want your child in a school where the teacher will have a lot of one on one time...this is the place !
This school is amazing! After my oldest daughter has just recently told me that if she had a choice between going to gymnastics(her favorite sport), Disneyland, or going to school in her class and doing all of her work, she would choose her 3rd grade class and the fun and challenging work. This is incredible considering that she was bored and unstimulated at her previous school. My youngest daughter now wants to be a Kindergarten teacher so that she can make school fun just like her teacher does. We can't say enough about this school and are glad that we came.
If you are looking for a classical education for your child, GCA is the best choice in South Orange County. The teachers are competent, loving and dedicated. The children's ability to learn Latin, Greek, Art, Music,and Science in addition to all the other basic subjects is truly amazing -they thrive and love it! We are happy to have two children at GCA for the last 5 years.
I have been very pleased with the processes used to teach and encourage my child to desire to learn all subjects. My daughter is taught a world view that acknowledges God as Lord of All at home and at school.
We are thrilled with the opportunity for our children to receive an excellent classical Christian education from GCA. The teachers inspire the children to a high level of learning and do it with such love and care. We couldn't ask for a better situation to help teach and mold our children.
Our 4 children have been in private Christian schools all their lives (since the first one began Kindergarten in 1993) so we have a fair amount of knowledge and ability to compare. We are tremendously impressed with the quality of teachers, the administration and parent involvement at Grace Classical. Our daughter has participated in choir and has learned more that we would have ever expected. Our children are thrilled to be learning greek and Latin. We have seen them be more challenged academically than ever before. Even with the current lack of a permanent facility we have been impressed.
This is my children's first year at Grace Classical Academy and they have learned so much. I have one child in Junior High and another child in Elementary School. The teachers just love teaching and are passing on their love of learning to the kids. I know my two will be not only prepared for college but will impress their professors by their background in this classical environment which is centered on God and His Word. Thank you Grace Classical Academy. It is located in Mission Viejo, CA
