GCA had impacted me and many other students. My overwll review on this school is that you make everlasting friends. The teachers and faculty are super nice and are always there for you. Academic wise it is super helpful with all the people that need help and their is always someone their to help you. Sports wise it is very competitive and won state championships in 2019. We live our environment and are always there for each other.

This school has a good environment and a good average academics. It's a clean campus and respectful staff. It has great opportunities for music or sports. Lots of activities to do and the worst isn't that bad but just the food could be a better. Overall it's not a bad school and has amazing people.

Not a good school. Not a school for the more mature reserved type of people. cliquish immature students and other things student/staff related. Spend your money somewhere else.

I really like GCA!! I haven't been going here for too long, but so far I have been more than impressed. The rules are kinda strict, but they aren't unbearable, and I don't have any issues following them. It's a very spiritual atmosphere and already I've learned a lot about how to strengthen my walk...
