Re-enrollment is officially open! Click HERE for tuition and fee deadline information.
We know that you have many choices when it comes to your child’s education, and we are truly honored that you’ve chosen to be part of our school family. With re-enrollment now open, we encourage you to secure your child’s spot as soon as possible!
GCA offers a quality educational experience::
Christian, not just in name, but part of the foundation of all that we do.
College worthy K-12 academic program that prepares students for the next level.
A growing fine arts and athletic program.
Purposeful and valued teacher / parent partnerships.
Intentional extra curricular opportunities for a healthy student experience.
All of the above is focused on our mission that “equips parents to disciple their children to know God and make him known through a distinctively Christian education”.
We believe that “there’s no place like Grace” and we invite you to continue the journey. As an existing family, your child’s spot will be held until February 1st. After this date, new families will have the opportunity to enroll in any grades that are open.
Students with excused absences of any length should turn in all work by the second class day back at school. Work that was due the first day that was missed is due immediately upon return to school. For example, if a student who attends class three days a week (M-T-Th) is absent Monday and returns to school Tuesday, the homework that was due on Monday is due the day they return: Tuesday. The homework due Tuesday is due Thursday.
In summary:
Grace Covenant Academy is pleased to share that we’ve implemented a new College & Career Readiness platform called Scoir (pronounced “score”). This system will streamline the process of requesting, processing, sending, and tracking the electronic delivery of all application-related documents. More importantly, it’s a much more enjoyable way for students and parents to engage in the college search and selection process.
On Scoir, colleges come to life through pictures, videos, and links that highlight active student clubs and organizations. This better enables students to discover for and identify colleges and careers that are a good fit with their personal and academic interests, which increases college retention.
Scoir also provides parents and guardians with useful financial calculators so you can determine the likely cost of attendance at different colleges and consider affordability when deciding where to apply. These features, along with more convenient scheduling and communication tools for high school counselors, will help keep everyone informed and engaged throughout the college application process.
Scoir exists to help more students achieve more positive outcomes, and we’re excited that our students have access to this system and the college and career readiness opportunities it provides.

Want to connect deeper with your pre-teen or teenager? GCA has subscribed to AXIS. Check out their FREE resources HERE and be on the lookout for a login to access MORE of their great materials, discussion guides for parents/ teens, etc. Axis is a Christian company whose mission statement is “connecting parents, teens and Jesus in a disconnected world.”
One resource we can highly recommend is their free “culture translator” which sends you an email with info about the latest trends from a Christian perspective and things to be aware of as a parent.
This site has lots of great videos and resources. You can create a free account HERE, just click “login” and “create an account.”
It is important now more than ever to be engaged and a part of your pre-teen and teenager’s life and disciple them through the confusing culture and times we live in.
