attended the school for 5 years. staff and administrators pretty much raise the students that have been attending for a significant amount of time to be fake "christian" people. everyone there is sheltered and it seems like that is the goal. Jen Mcconnell and Ginger Cover need to be fired. very sad excuse of a school. more like a daycare at this point. when looking to send your kid to a private christian school i would recommend blair county christian school as a great more affordable option. whatever you do DO NOT send your kids to this "school"

Great Commission Schools is a great school that provides a good Christian education. Class sizes are small and the relationships between students and teachers are great and it is like one big family. Teachers go above and beyond to help you learn.

Despite past issues in previous years at GCS, 2016-17 year has been great so far, a new principal started last year as our old one had to move. Things are going well. The principal listens to what you have to say and fixes any problems so they don't keep escalating. I have no issues with teachers. T...
