This verse reflects our vision for spiritual life at GCS. Whether in the classroom, on the athletic field, through the arts, or in service and mission opportunities, students are encouraged to love the Lord and glorify Him in all they do. Instruction is delivered through a Biblical worldview, with curriculum thoughtfully integrated with Scripture in every class.
GCS has made an intentional effort to grow in diversity, as reflected in steadily increasing enrollment percentages over the past five years. In 2015, GCS became a certified SEVIS school and now admits international students on a limited basis.
