Be not worried for this school has all the needs of the students in focus! Memories here are a growing experience! Trying harder and harder to learn more in the Bible than ever before! Knowing so many friends brought me a feeling of belonging!Thank you!

Considered this school for my son. However I believe the rules for the students are insane, especially where cell phones are concerned. If we paid that much towards tuition, campus life etc... WE would have control over my sons use of cell phone, internet, private life etc... from what I understand, this school is like a prison. No thanks!

I haven’t written in a long time.I’m honestly not 100% sure why I’m writing now, at 11:00 PM on a Friday night.Life is going well. I’m finishing up my last semester at the University of Georgia, and it feels oh, so good.To celebrate, I stayed home and watched A Beautiful Mind, but somewhere along the way - I don’t know why - I decided to look at my past emails between me and previous GCA employees. Reading those emails really hit a nerve. It felt like emotions that I had been blocking out for a very long time finally emerged, and after they did, I couldn’t keep them contained any longer.What GCA did to me when I was 18 years old was wrong. I was young (I had just turned 18 a month or so prior to this), naïve, and trying to learn how to love. It was their job – what I was paying them to do – to teach me to be a better, more experienced person. But as soon as I made a mistake, they beat me down and told me I had to leave. As a school that is supposed to be Christ-oriented, this is especially immoral. Jesus teaches of loving those around you and helping your neighbor become better. GCA never gave me the opportunity to be better. They never gave me a chance. When they found out I was dating another person of the same sex, they did not inform me of their knowledge of this relationship until night-time and told me I had to be gone from campus before daylight the following day. In any scenario, how does that seem like it’s the right thing to do to a teenager who is alone at a boarding school with no one else other than the significant other they’ve been seeing for a few months?This whole scenario scarred me. I was a senior at GCA when this all happened, less than three months away from graduation. This did not alter their punishment though. They did not care what became of me and my high school career. All that mattered was that I was gone before the other students could even notice what happened.Several years of confusion and numbing came after this.But I made it, no thanks to them. I’ve learned what Christ’s love is like: inclusive, non-judgmental, and all-powerful. God has guided me through all of these lessons and tribulations and has led me to the right path. As Joseph said, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done…” Genesis 50:19-20
