I have loved my experience at GCA. The teachers have invested their time and energy into my daughter, and I can feel their excitement about teaching. I am thankful for GCA!

I enjoyed the culture that they have at GCA. I have made lifelong friends who I trust with my life. GCA is a college prep school that did a fair job at preparing me for college.

Garland Christian Academy is a small school, but that is not necessarily a disadvantage. The atmosphere at my school is amazing. We are all so close it is similar to having a large family. The teachers are always willing to help in any way they can and genuinely care about you and your success. I feel well prepared for college due to the high academic standards I have been held up to. The only thing I wish were different is I wish I had received more help in applying for colleges and scholarships through the school.

School is failing in leadership, professionalism, sports, and is not preparing children/students for world view. From the administration down to the substitutes; everyone is a friend of a friend, and not an actual Texas certified teacher. It’s sad that if you are only part of the Lavon baptist commu...
