Why do we educate our children? The easy answer is to prepare them for college, careers, and financial stability. But Christian education invites a deeper question: what is the purpose of education at all?
“Christian education actually offers a fuller account of why we educate,” says Dr. Paul Cable, High School Principal, “We’re looking to help each student grow into the image of Jesus so they can live out what it means to be in the image of God and participate in His mission in the world.”

The main character of this show is College. He appears gradually in the manuscript, from kindergarten through high school, as each level plays its part in a story carefully aligned with the ending in mind. We like to think of the college counseling process like that of a movie production, and we know how much planning goes into the final product that we see on the screen.

Student Devotional Reflection: Dwell
Dec

2025
By: Elli Martin, GAC Class of 2026
Something we’ve done in Student Ministry class that has made a lasting impression on me is “Fall Fresh On Us Fridays.” On Fridays, the class engages in a short time of musical worship with reflection and prayer. This experience is unique to anything else I have ever been exposed to; in church, of course, we engage in worship together, but it is in a larger and less personalized setting. On Fridays, however, since we have a smaller, class- sized group, we are able to be more intimate and vulnerable with each other.

During the summer of 2025, GAC faculty and leadership took part in a shared reading of
Beyond Biblical Integration: Immersing You and Your Students in a Biblical Worldview
by Dr. Roger Erdvig. The book challenges Christian educators to move beyond simply integrating faith into lessons and instead create an immersive environment where a biblical worldview shapes every aspect of learning and life. To deepen the conversation, Dr. Erdvig visited GAC’s campus to lead on-site training sessions, exploring how to help students view every subject and situation through the lens of Scripture. The shared experience inspired reflection across campus— on faith, teaching, and what it truly means to teach from a biblical worldview.

They encouraged parents to identify two things they currently do for their child that the child could do independently, and to take a step back and instill confidence in their child that they are capable of doing challenging things themselves. As Sissy said,
“Kids feel bravest when someone they love reminds them the truth of who they are.”

This summer, a local theatre company performed “The Enchanted Bookshop,” a heartwarming story about the power of literature and imagination. From Dorothy to Robin Hood to Tom Sawyer, this play focuses on a fictional story of our favorite childhood characters coming to life. In the play, these characters are faced with helping save their bookstore or protecting their own existence. Eighteen actors of all ages (9-50+) worked together to create a family-friendly story that touched the hearts of all who attended.

A Path to Joyful & Purposeful Giving
Jan

2024
In the early 1960s, the first donors to support Greater Atlanta Christian School gave as an expression of obedience to God. Their desire was to build a school that provided quality education in a Christian environment, where prayer could occur within the school, and a racially integrated student body would learn alongside one another. They knew the Lord wanted to see them come together to establish a Christian school in the Atlanta area. That group of “ordinary people” invited others to invest the resources that God had given them – their energy, their prayers, and their financial gifts.

At Greater Atlanta Christian School, we’ve been engaged in thought-provoking discussions about the impact of AI on our lives, families, and careers. Traditionally, educational institutions tend to lag in adopting new technologies due to factors like institutional inertia, risk aversion, limited research, or the inclination to teach in familiar ways. However, at GAC, generations of leaders have chosen a different path, one marked by forward-thinking innovation. We purposefully wield technology as a tool rather than becoming its passive users.
