HIGH SCHOOL
Our high school offers a lifelong advantage by integrating biblical truths into every aspect of student life. An atmosphere of high expectation and support for the students maximizes their high school experience in a distinctively Christian school. Students make life-changing relationships with Christian teachers and students who share your teen's faith.
GCA provides tremendous opportunities to excel. Give your plans a head start by earning free or low-cost college credit through the College Credit Plus program while still in high school. Broaden horizons with travel during our Senior Class Trip. Dive into tech with our robotics class. Design the school yearbook. Step into the spotlight in our theater department. Lead worship as part of the Praise Band. Race to the top with our interscholastic sports teams. There is a place for everyone to shine at GCA.
While Genoa Christian Academy utilizes various curriculum resources from Glencoe, Houghton Mifflin, Prentice Hall, Summit Ministries, ACSI and Positive Action, all of our classes are centered on the authority of God’s Word and infused throughout with Biblical truth. Our classrooms promote critical thought and a global view of the world as students are taught to engage the world with Biblical truths and action.
A well-rounded program of academics, sports and arts combined with caring and highly qualified Christian teachers make GCA an exceptional environment for Christian high school students.
