Second year at GAC - we have a 6th grader and a 9th grader. Very academically challenging. Love knowing that the teachers are praying for my children by name, and guiding them to make good choices.

GACS is a excellent school. The teachers, administration and support staff have been amazing to my child and my family. This is a Christian school that makes no apologies for their beliefs. We have had a wonderful experience at GACS!

I have two children at GAC. It is both challenging for them and personally rewarding for me watching them grow as people and as Christians. As to not getting its students into 'top notch' colleges, the administration will tell you they are not concerned with getting your child into Harvard or Princeton.

But at the beginning and end of the day, it's a Christian School and that's why it is so special. P.S. Hand sanitizer removes 99% of germs, hand washing only about 50%. Read less

Our child is in K4 this year. We are not wealthy people and struggle to pay each month. He is getting a good education, learning the basics and that education is Christ-centered. Teachers are very nice and easy to talk to. My major problems with the Village so far are the lack of communication between

Since we pay for aftercare, we are in the 13K range and the push for more and more money is quite irritating. Magazine sales are pushed hard and I found it totally inappropriate for children of this age. Children are encouraged to use hand sanitizer instead of soap and water to save time, they are only given 25 minutes of actual sit down time to eat lunch. Just a little disappointed. Read less

As a graduate of GACS and a current parent of 2 GACS students, I can speak for the great history of the school and the amazing growth in both academic and athletic programs and tha actual campus itself. The faculty and staff are extremely dedicated, the religious education is the best in our area, and

The school is large enough to provide a variety of activities and academic programs but small enough to give attention to the individual. I appreciate the fact that while all students are welcome at GACS, it is a christian school first and foremost, so it may not be for everyone. Read less

I love going to GACS. I would give it 4 1/2 stars. It is academically very challenging but I'm sure I am going to be very well prepared for college. The Christian atmosphere is great and they have made a ton of changes for the upcoming 2008 school year in regards to chapel and bible classes which many

You can never please everyone but they try very hard to make sure each and every student is treated with respect. Overall GACS is a great place to be I've been attending there from junior high now through high school. Read less

I've watched Greater Atlanta Christian expand beautifully for several years now. It is one of the finest total programs in the state. If a family's not particularly interested in spiritual development as part of their children's learning, it's probably not the right school. If that matters, the combination

We have been disappointed with the academics and would not have picked this school if we had realized that there is a huge difference in the way certain kids are treated vs those of different beliefs. Very interested in building big buildings and less so on improving course options. Kids do not get

In response to the military-like atmosphere, maybe your child is just not able to cope with the demands of a real education. The school is fine, my complaint is that the Christian atmosphere is a bit too much. The teachers are okay, another issue for sports is that all the money goes to football and

I'm saddened to read the previous negative comments. GACS is one of the top 2 or 3 Metro Atlanta private schools with a nearly 30 to 1 waiting list.
