The regions GCA offers busing from are:
"Glenmore Christian Academy’s mission is to Teach Truth, Inspire Excellence, Experience Christ and Serve Through Love. Through a Biblical worldview, students learn liberal arts, sciences, fine arts, languages and Phys Ed from specialist educators in our state-of-the-art facility. Extra-curricular options include performing arts, band, intramural and competitive sports. In Junior High, students partake in outdoor leadership programs including an international Mission Trip in Grade 9."
GCA is more than just a school: it is a community. It is our priority to work in partnership with parents to help our students discover their God-given talents. At GCA, Bible is more than just a subject. Our enriched academic program is infused with a Biblical perspective, even in the core subjects. Christ is in everything that we do. These two elements working together allow us to provide students the tools they need to continue to thrive academically and spiritually when they graduate.
Given that educational time is allotted for both Bible classes and chapels, we are unable to start option languages earlier than Grade Four. It also limits the amount of languages we can offer.
Our school began in a small clubhouse on the property of the original First Alliance Church in Calgary. The first key juncture was the creation of our current campus in 1991. Over the years, we created a 535-seat theatre, a full service cafeteria, and opened a separate Junior High building in 2012.
The students who thrive at GCA are academically motivated, involve themselves in our athletics and/or arts programming, and also have a desire to learn more about the Bible and grow their faith in Christ.
While there is a high demand for students with special needs, we are only equipped to deal with mild learning issues. As a Christian school, we infuse the Bible in everything we do, so parents should want to see their child grow both academically and in their faith.
Those that apply to Glenmore Christian Academy are looking for an educational program where their child will be taught how to become a life-long learner, be encouraged to grow in their faith as they learn about Jesus Christ and be given opportunities to put that faith into practice.
The majority of our families come to our school because they know another family that’s had a great experience at the school. We also have a Ministry to Others program in Junior High that supports the “Serve through Love” part of our mission statement and allows our students to serve the public in various ways.
At GCA, we are truly blessed to have a wonderful facility for our students and staff. Our facilities team are all dedicated Christ followers and completely committed to what they do, and are an incredible example to the rest of our staff. The work that goes into keeping our school clean and safe is a huge endeavour, and our facilities team members are truly inspirational.
The culture at GCA is incredibly diverse. Our community is comprised of students whose families are from all over the world, and from more than one sect of Christianity. At GCA, we come together and celebrate our differences all under the banner of Christ.
In Elementary, after Grade Three, we move to a diad model for Grades Four and Five, slowly introducing our students to the concept of different teachers for different subjects. By Junior High, students are moving from class to class as they would in High School. We have expanded our highly popular intramurals program for Grade 4 & 5 students to include Grade 6 & 7 students, with Grade 8 & 9 students having the opportunity to take on leadership roles. We are continually offering more clubs including the Grade 6 & 7 Drama Club, the Investment Club, a STEM club and more. Finally, “Logic” as a subject has been introduced to Jr High.
We are currently pursuing the expansion and development of an off-site private Christian High School.
