Meet GCA's 2023-2024 Family of the Month Families

May 2024 - The Thomas - Quiller Family

First, I would like to thank GOD for blessing me with an extraordinary child. Second, thank you to GCA for acknowledging us as the Family of the Month. Third, we would like to send a special thanks to my son's 2nd grade Math and Science teacher, Ms. Gasque. Thank you for nominating us for this award, it was a sweet surprise! You've been a bright and shining light in our lives this school term.

When my son first started kindergarten at GCA, as a mother I didn't have any expectations. I was unsure of what he was capable of, and I also had doubts about being his LC. GCA's virtual learning platform was our only "chosen" option, therefore it had to work. So, I vowed to take things one day at a time. I encouraged and pushed him to always do his best beyond being nonverbal and autistic. Surprisingly I discovered that he was a gifted artist and good student. To this very day I continue to nurture and support his artistry and studies as his LC and mother. We have a close relationship and unbreakable bond. Every lesson that I teach to him, he teaches back to me. I know his potential is unlimited and I'm so proud and blessed to be his mother.

April 2024 - The Hernandez Family

When a problem with no seeming solution entered my path, gca presented a solution unlike no other. As a proud LC, I acknowledged my son's need to be academically challenged. The education in the brick-and-mortar was, to put it simply, sub par. GCA gifted me with the ability to oversee my students' learning while also monitoring their progress in a timely fashion, keeping them on track for success. My daughter has never known another environment than that provided by GCA, it has allowed her to grow and blossom into a wonderful smart young woman, capable and comfortable with any task that may be thrown her way. With the backing of GCA, my son has also been able to soar to new heights, ones that might not have been possible if he was confined to another program. As an LC and mother, it has been such an honor to be a member of the GCA community. Truly a life changing and worthwhile endeavor!!! While the transition may be tough, having an amazing and dedicated Family Engagement Liaison, provides comfort, care, and so much more to students and parents alike. 10/10 would recommend to those seeking to nourish their students with the gift of tailored education.

March 2024 - The Barnes Family

We are so excited to have been chosen as the family of the month. This is both my daughter and I first year at GCA. I have had the pleasure of being both a learning coach for my daughter Mackenzie who is in the 1st grade and an employee here at GCA. There is tremendous support from all the faculty and staff. Mackenzie has made great gains and has flourished so much since her attendance here. My family and I are so grateful to have GCA in our lives. Thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts.

February 2024 - The Barnes Family

When we first started discussing placing our boys in school, we knew that we wanted to homeschool them. While researching, we were blessed to have found GCA. We enrolled our oldest and never looked back. Our boys have flourished at GCA because of the outstanding teachers and the amazing support that they receive. I couldn’t imagine them being anywhere else!

December 2023 - The Aguene Family

GCA has become a family to us. Our decision to give our children quality education that is embed in morals and family value was fulfilled and still being fulfilled in GCA. We have two sons in GCA, our first son graduated from GCA class of 2022. We are so grateful that our two boys were members of Robotics Club and Dell Tech. They received great and unquantifiable mentorship from Ms. Caroline Mcdade at the Robotics Club and Dell Tech. My family is ever grateful that we choose GCA for our children.

November 2023 - The Blair Family

The Blair Family Nov. 2023 family of the month

We are excited to have been chosen to be the first Family of the Month at GCA. We chose GCA because we were looking for an accredited online public school at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Since then, we have thoroughly enjoyed having a safe online learning experience where our children are receiving the same credit towards their high school diploma as their previous in person public school. It has been a success for our family to transition from in-person school to homeschool! When we started GCA 3 years ago, we were only in the elementary school and middle school grade bands. Today we also are part of the high school band as well. Our experience with GCA has been great. Each child has their own learning desk and area set apart from each other with their headphones and partitions. We love to go to school everyday. We attend 1st grade, 4th grade, 6th grade, 7th grade, 9th grade, and 11th grade!

The children have plenty of support when they are at school!With the guidance of all of the GCA staff and me here at home it has been beneficial to their success! We have no absences and we have all honor roll students here in our house. We are blessed to have heard about GCA when it was our time to switch from in person public school to online public school. It is my pleasure to be a part of GCA and also to hold the first title of Family of the Month! We feel Hootworthy proud!
