A Message from our
Head of School

Cadia Parks

As we wrap up the month of July, our nation’s 250th birthday has given us a meaningful opportunity to reflect with gratitude on the blessings of our shared history. This anniversary invites us to consider the enduring ideals of liberty, justice, and responsibility that have shaped our country, while also remembering the importance of wisdom, virtue, and faith in sustaining a free people.

At GCA, we seek to help students understand history not simply as a series of dates and events, but as the unfolding story of God’s providence through people, nations, and generations. Milestones such as this remind us of the importance of cultivating knowledge, character, and gratitude in the hearts of young people.

As summer comes to an end, we hope your family has found time for rest, reflection, and renewed appreciation for God's many gifts. We are grateful for your partnership in the work of forming students who love truth, goodness, and beauty, and who are prepared to serve faithfully in their homes, churches, communities, and beyond. As we look ahead to a new school year, we can't wait to welcome our students back to campus in August and begin another year of learning and growing together.

Staff and families got together this summer for fellowship and sunsets. It was a reminder that at GCA, it really is a family. 

Ways to Participate:

1) Put your own foursome team together

2) Sponsor a hole with your business

3) Become our event sponsor or another one of our top tier level sponsors

4) Spread the word to friends, neighbors, co-workers and family

GCA is proud to announce new Smart Ways to Give.

We are blessed to share new ways in which to grow God’s work at GCA.  We are now partners with the National Christian Foundation (NCF).  NCF is one of the largest community foundations in the world, dedicated to inspiring generosity and mobilizing resources for communities like ours.  They help givers simplify their giving through creative solutions like Donor-Advised Funds, non-cash assets, real estate, business interests, life insurance or restricted securities.  Please let us know if you would like to find out more.

We continue to be thankful for our current church ambassadors from: 

First Presbyterian Church, Summit Church Estero, Turning Point Church, and Center Point Community Church. 

They have been so helpful in promoting our events and most importantly our students. If your church would like to partner with us and serve our communities together, please reach out, and also check out our Ambassador pillars list on our website. Our next quarterly gathering will be in August of 2026.
