Girard Alliance Christian Academy

Girard Alliance Christian Academy Preschool was established in 2004. Our program is designed to promote curiosity and joy in learning in preschool-age children. Teacher directed lessons encourage positive social relationships, the development of fine and gross motor skills, thinking, listening, and speaking language development, and math-readiness skills. Our students learn about God's love for them through the daily integration of His Word and Biblical principles. The children are cared for by a Christian teacher and aides in a safe nurturing environment.

Children must be three years old by August 15th, and "potty-trained" to be eligible for admittance. Three and four year olds will be part of the same class unless increased enrollment of three year olds allows a separate program to be offered. Preschool will be Monday through Thursday, 8:50 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. A minimum commitment of three days is required for 4 year olds and two days for 3 year olds. Threes must attend two days per week to gain the most benefit from the program. Parents will choose the two days at the beginning of the school year.

Preschool begins on the Tuesday after Labor Day and continues through the Thursday after Memorial Day. The preschool will include days off for holidays and generally follows the Academy calendar.

Kindergarten through fourth grade are some of the most important years of a child's life. Girard Alliance Christian Academy Elementary provides a quality education with a strong Christian perspective. Each student is expected to conduct himself according to the highest Christian standards of honesty, integrity, responsibility, and love toward his fellow students and teachers.

Girard Alliance Christian Academy Elementary classes are teacher-directed and strong emphasis is placed on foundational skills in
math, reading, social studies and language. Children are also involved in music, arts, and physical education classes. Children enrolling in Kindergarten must be 5 years old by August 31st. The elementary students enjoy a chapel program once a week.

The purpose of Girard Alliance Christian Academy Middle School is to help parents in meeting their God given responsibilities of training their children to love God and others by providing an atmosphere in which students can achieve their highest potential mentally, spiritually, emotionally and physically.

It is the desire of the staff to provide middle grade students (fifth through eighth grade) with an abundance of quality acceptance, encouragement and direction at this crucial time of their life.

A strong focus is placed on academics with emphasis given to core subjects of Bible, English, math, history, and science. Opportunities to participate in band or sports help in providing a well-rounded educational experience. The middle school students participate in several service opportunities throughout the year, a Spiritual Emphasis week, and enjoy Chapel once a week.

It is during the high school years that our sons and daughters face many life choices. The need for a supportive and Christian environment is key during this time of movement toward independence. The goal of Girard Alliance Christian Academy High School is to develop Christian leaders by teaching every subject from a God-centered world view. This includes instilling strength of character and courage to obey God's Word that will result in true prosperity and strength.
