When asked what they thought about being chosen as Family of the Month, they said, "The Crowell Family is super appreciative to be a part of the GCA Family!  [We feel] God has used this school in a powerful way to help motivate and mold our children and teenagers to be highly educated students! They provide additional resources that were easy to maneuver as well as obtain, and we express a great amount of gratitude for the GCA Faculty and Staff! GCA is a family, and we are happy to be a part of it! We love you GCA!"

As part of Teacher Appreciation Week, the Crowell Family also wishes to shout out to our Teachers, "Happy Appreciation week as well to all the educators apart of GCA, and we want to let you know God loves you all and the work ethic you have placed amongst every student at GCA has definitely been recognized!"

The Andreorios chose GCA because "Like most families at the start of the COVID pandemic, we were left scrambling to find a quality educational experience for our three boys (Tristan [13], Lucas [11], and Connor [9]) without sacrificing their health and safety. As a mother with a background in education, it was important to us that our children would be able to thrive in their new environment and also have the chance to overcome their individual learning challenges." 

The Andreorios feel that, "Georgia Cyber Academy has met or exceeded every one of our goals for our boys and we are so grateful for the individualized attention they each receive. In particular, our oldest son has shown incredible improvement in his learning and personal growth since joining the Academy in 2020. Initially, the at-home/online instruction model was going to be a temporary "fix" for our family until in-person classes were made available again. Since then, the boys have all come to love their new educational structure and are excited to continue with GCA for the foreseeable future!" 

When asked about the faculty and staff at GCA, the Andreorios commented, "The staff at GCA - from administration to teachers - have been so helpful over our past three years here, and we are thrilled to be a part of this institution."

Meet the Romero Family!  Currently living in Athens, Georgia, the Romeros are originally from Guatelama and have been a part of GCA for 2 years.  9th grade student, Angel "is always active in talking with his teachers about concerns or situations that arise during his class periods. Angel has quickly adapted to virtual learning since in previous years he went to a traditional school."

When asked how they found out about GCA, Mrs. Romero commented, "Due to the pandemic, my did not want to return to face-to-face classes, so I researched on the internet, and thank God I found this great family that we are honored to be a part of. Thank you GCA for existing! And thank you for choosing us to be the Family of this Month of March. Thank you and God Bless you!"

Mr. Burley explains that he is, "a single father raising 3 wonderful kids, with the help of my wonderful mother and father. It gets hard at times, but we continue to band together and move forward. The pandemic changed the world as we once knew it. Finding a safe place for kids to learn was even harder until we realize the safest place was at home. We learned about Georgia Cyber Academy and over the last few years, I am very satisfied, and the kids love it and they have learned so much.  Thank you so much for working so hard with my kids."

Thank you, Mr. Burley and congratulations!

The Browns, "would like to extend a special thank you to Ms. Keelay James as well as Ms. Ronnesha Smith (Coach Ro) for considering our family as nominees. We look forward to continuing to work with you and the rest of the 6th grade band for the duration of the school year. We believe that each student can be successful as long as each participating party works together from the same page in the same book.
