Our Core Values:
Greenville Classical Academy is
- "Christian" in that we acknowledge the lordship of Christ over all creation, including education. All subjects will be taught with a thoroughly Christian world view. We see no sacred/secular dichotomy and recognize that the lordship of Christ is evident in all subjects.
- "rigorous" in that we will joyfully and creatively challenge academically average and above-average students to perform to their God-given potential. GCA desires to have a student culture where learning is "cool" and "just getting by" is not good enough. Drawing excellence out of all students, GCA intends to prepare its students for admission to colleges of their choice.
- "classical" in that we value the heritage of Western civilization, especially the literature of the past. The curriculum will be modeled after what historically has been called the liberal arts. The focus will be on what the student has become and not what he or she has learned. Basing our curriculum on the trivium, not only will students learn the facts of particular subjects, but also they will be taught how to think logically and how to communicate effectively.
- "transformative" in that we desire to see the life of a student change through the power and grace of the gospel. Although the student's family and church play primary roles in discipleship, GCA acknowledges the role of education as well. GCA seeks to instill a passion for Christ in the student.
