At GIA we believe that God is sovereign over all of creation and that our vision is “To raise a generation of Godly leaders to transform the society” and our core values are Integrity, Excellence and Leadership. We are a loving community that spiritually and academically equips, challenges, and inspires students to impact them to know Christ.

Our mission isn’t just something that we say, it’s the heart of who we are

“TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY, CHRIST-CENTERED EDUCATION THAT YIELDS A GENERATION OF GOD FEARING LEADERS”

The entire community is committed to living out this mission each and every day. At GIA your student will be known, valued, and loved and it is our desire to build a strong relationship with your family. We engage our students both spiritually and academically, striving to develop well-rounded individuals who are equipped to take on today’s challenges.  Our goal is for each student to maximize their talents – whether academic, athletic, artistic, or spiritual – for God’s glory.

Our teachers are lifelong learners committed to engaging in best practices in the classrooms and beyond. Author Henry Adams famously wrote, “A teacher impacts eternity; he never knows where his influence stops.” Our teachers are eternally minded, teaching from a Christian worldview and incorporating biblical truth into their instruction. Our commitment to best practices includes specific training regarding integrating technology throughout the curriculum in a six-year secondary education program, running from Grade 7-12.

Our world needs intelligent, effective leaders with integrity, godly leadership skills and all round excellence and we are creating an academic and spiritual environment to do that.

We are excited about what God is doing here and look forward to welcoming your family to GIA.
