Grace Christian Academy is launching the GCA Hybrid Program in August 2025, and is accepting applications NOW for grades 1 through 8.

The GCA Hybrid Program is being developed to serve an emerging market of families desiring a nontraditional option of education but also desiring a Christian education with comprehensive offerings in academics, arts and athletics. The program will effectively merge the strengths of traditional and at-home learning for a well-rounded educational experience.

A hybrid educational program combines traditional school and at-home learning, offering a flexible learning environment, blending the structured curriculum of a school with the personalized approach of home education. This model allows students to benefit from in-person classroom interactions, socialization with peers and access to school resources, while also enjoying the freedom to explore subjects at their own pace during home sessions.

GCA Hybrid will serve students academically by offering expert instruction two days per week with the opportunity to still learn at home with the parent as co-teacher.
