The concert will be held at Grace Classical Academy in the chapel.

For families now attending a classical Christian school or those who would like to get acquainted with what a classical Christian education is all about, I can think of no better introduction to the “what” and “why” than the address that Pastor Doug Wilson gave at this summer’s Association of Classical and Christian Schools conference in Atlanta.

Pastor Wilson was an early pioneer of the Classical Christian School movement in the U.S. and continues to be a source of strength and guidance for the ACCS movement that is now worldwide in scope.

The problem has been considered, the research completed, the project is constructed and tested, and the results are in! Yes, GCA’s Annual Science Fair was the challenge it needed to be and everyone--teachers and students alike--rose to the occasion. The exhibits were some of the best ever. The comments from judges, parents, and faculty underscored the quality of the work and efforts of our students in this year’s fair. Thanks to all those who made this year’s fair a success, and a very special “thank you” to those who came and served as our judges.

Imagine George Washington, Queen Esther, the Ancient Greeks, and Martin Luther all in the same room.

One day a year, this scene becomes a reality when GCA celebrates its annual History Day.

History Day is a special event at GCA, and the morning drop-off line is especially colorful as notable men and women from our past enter the building. From Adam and Eve to recent history, students dress up as a historical character from the time period they are currently studying.

The morning of History Day serves as a dress rehearsal, and that night is the actual History Day presentation and GCA open house.

Reading a textbook may inform students of the events of history, but assuming the role of an individual from history, studying that person, doing a report and speech about that person--those are things that really can bring history to life.

What the parents, students and staff get to see is history come to life. As time progresses during the presentation—Ancient History, Medieval History, Renaissance, American History, 20th Century, 21st Century—what unfolds is a beautiful story of our past and how God demonstrates His sovereignty and His will throughout the ages.

Following History Day, the pages of the GCA calendar seem to speed up with numerous activities. With only a few weeks left until summer break, the days are filled with preparations for the Science Fair, Battle Grammatica, the Spelling Bee, and for the first time this year, Math Jeopardy.
