Genesee Christian School

Genesee Christian was a terrible experience, far from pleasant . I came to the US with my family from Mexico and attended 2nd grade through 7th. I experienced many humiliations while attending this school. I was different from everyone, and NO ONE in the school system reached out to make me feel comfortable. I was shy and reserved compared to the other kids. It seemed everyone was stuck in this weird persona of being outgoing, into sports, and "perfect". or else you were an outcast. No one knew how to deal with different personalities, absolutely no cultural competence. It literally felt like being trapped in a box full of clones.Thank God my parent's pulled me out after I had literally no friends or faculty I could rely on and fully developed social anxiety. I began attending Grand Blanc public schools and was exposed to different personalities, thoughts, experiences, and beliefs that helped me compare myself and find who I am. I made friends and had people I could relate to that helped me cope with my anxiety, I was accepted for being me. The public school system prepared me far better for the real world than this school.

We've had our son enrolled for the past two years and have loved the school!

I am trying to remember the name of my first grade teacher I had. My friends and I were talking about stories from elementary and I could not remember the name of my first grade teacher. I graduated in '09, so I guess I was in first grade during 1998. Can someone please help me?! Thank you so much in advance, this is really bothering me that I cannot remember.

My son has attended GCS for three years (since Kindergarten) and will be returning next year. The academic programs here are outstanding, and the teaching staff is very engaged. As a result, my son is farther ahead than his public school counterparts. I am thrilled that we chose this school, which has been instrumental in helping me develop a child who is bright, inquisitive, and compassionate. It was important to me to have my child attend a christian school to support the morals and integrity we try to instill in him, and to have like-minded people (both other families and the staff) to support those efforts.

I attended GCS K-12th grade. I truly enjoyed my school years. I was more than prepared for college. I was able to test out of several classes and was even given an athletic scholarship. I truly believe I am a better person for attending this school.

We have three children attending GCS. I can only speak for the elementary, as that is where our children are in attendance, but I must say, every teacher we have had so far is superior. They are selfless in their giving to our children. It is most definately a ministry and that is evident as they are constantly in service to their students. The new administrator is wonderful and I believe he will take the school leaps and bounds above where it has been in the past. I am grateful to have my children there.

I have 3 children in GCS and i am extremely happy with this institution. There has been a change in leadership which needed to take place. The new administrator/principal is an outstanding leader, communicator and educator. This is a Christrian school. They have a high biblical and moral standard which is why I chose to pay for schooling and not use public schools. The education is certainly advanced over most public schools and they have excellent extra curricular programs. I highly recommend this school to those who are looking for a Christian school environment for their children.

I attended GCS from sixth grade until graduation. GCS is a fine institution and definitely prepares students for life after high school as well as, and in most instances better than, public school systems. I was very well prepared for college after my time at GCS. In fact, I did well enough on my standardized exams that I was offered more than a dozen complete four year academic scholarships to major state universities. The teaching staff is excellent and the school leadership is of extraordinary character. This school is a superb environment for children of all ages, and I highly recommend it. I have no regrets at all about my education at GCS.
