Horrendous academics! They come no where close to the public schools around or the Catholic schools around for that matter. The teachers are just average, but that's to be expected as GCC is not attracting the best of the best because they just can't afford them. This school will not prepare your child for quality higher education. Sure, they will get into a no name college and can probably do decent, but you are much better off teaching good Christian values at home and giving them an overall better education at the excellent public schools in the area.
It is great to see how God is using Gloucester County Christian School as a place to train and produce students that have a heart for God.
I saw a complete transformation in my daughters grades and motivation in her school work. Not only did her grades improve but she became much more social and involved in activities in the school. I didn't have to worry about peer pressure of drugs or sex and either did she. I thought the uniforms would be an issue, but all the kids at school seem perfectly content wearing the uniforms and I find I spend less in clothing. I am mostly amazed of the quality of her friends. They are so mannerly and loyal, kind friends. She attended her junior and senior year and my only regret is that I didn't send her for the entire high school. She absolutely loved it. I've never seen her happier. We just received her achievement test scores in the mail and I almost fell over when I saw her in the 90 percentile.
I've attended this school since my freshman year until graduation, and it's a wonderful school. I think the Teachers are the best part, but it would be great if the school had more money so they could provide more. They do need to update their math program as well, in fact everything could use an update, but that could be easily taken care of with some money. The teachers and students, and chapel services more than make up for any finanfical shortages ,though, and I would be glad to send my kids there when they are older.
All of my children have attended and still do attend GCCS. A nurturing, godly atmosphere. Very positive peer relationships in the high school. Open door policy with administration. Nice rural/suburban campus.
GCCS has a quality academic program, but lacks in establishing a true Christian family feel for all who attend. Parents are involved but tend to section off into groups and can be a bit chatty about others. Computer program isn't comparable to other programs like Washington Township public schools and they don't offer foreign language to lower grades. Curriculum could also be a little more well-rounded to include celebration of Black History Month and more teachings about African American contribution to American society! They are also out of touch with global technology and do not offer the children enough educational opportunities to learn about the global economy. Their music and arts prgm needs an overhaul as well.
Gloucester County Christian School follows the A Beka curriculum which leads in reading skills and math skills, especially in the lower grades (K-4). Aftercare and sports (Soccer, Basketball)are available. Devoted Christian teachers care about your child's heart, and their interactions with others. Graduating seniors go on to do well in college and careers.
