Academics at GAC - Greater Atlanta Christian School
We prepare students at every age level for success during their time at GAC, in college, and beyond.
GAC engages students through rigorous, intentional academic experiences that keep in mind the distinct purpose of each student. Research and care inform every decision, from classroom layout to daily schedules and technology resources.
In the GAC
Elementary School and Preschool Programs
,
our youngest Spartans gain a firm foundation in academics, faith, and community that will carry them through their educational career. They discover their interests, talents, and the joy of learning through experiences inside the classroom, STEM labs, and across the campus.
Once in
Middle School
, our Spartans are challenged and nurtured in an academic community designed to prepare them for the excitement and rigor of high school. A time marked by rich intellectual, co-curricular, peer, and spiritual immersion, this is a phase of tremendous growth.
Each GAC
High School
student is set firmly on a path forward. Their days are filled with opportunities to develop intellect, faith, culture, generosity, and confidence. Our Spartans go into the world prepared for what it has to offer.
Creativity, Collaboration, and Communication Skills Infused in Each Course
At GAC we go well beyond learning how to answers questions correctly on a test. Your child will learn to present an argument to the class and defend a hypothesis through a well-researched paper. Students collaborate and learn to reach consensus among their peers.
Personalized Learning with TrekAI
TrekAI, GAC’s innovative AI-based learning tool for grades 6-12, integrates GAC’s curriculum and teachings with advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) to create a personalized, faith-integrated learning experience. This unique tool enhances classroom learning by providing just-in-time tutorial support and helps teachers identify concepts needing further instruction. TrekAI exemplifies GAC’s forward-thinking approach, using AI technology to foster academic success and digital citizenship.
An Education that is Aligned from Young Learners to High School
We have thoughtfully designed a curriculum to enhance your child’s education for an even greater experience throughout their years at GAC, college, and beyond. We meet students’ academic needs and further ensure student success with our state-of-the-art curriculum planning software and Professional Learning Communities where teachers work to create an aligned educational plan for each student.
Flexible Learning with Online and Hybrid Schedules
Our Synchronous Learning option allows students to participate in real-time classroom experiences both in-person and remotely, offering flexibility and choice.
GAC's Ethos School, an innovative online platform, integrates with our college preparatory environment, enabling students to pursue their passions while advancing their education. Additionally, Hybrid schedules and Zero Hour classes help students open their schedules to specialize in areas of interest.
Global Education Creates Global Citizens
A GAC education extends far beyond the classroom, instilling the value and responsibility of being a global citizen. Students participate in learning excursions, mission trips, and study abroad opportunities. Last year, more than 400 students participated in authentic service, locally and abroad. GAC also has global partnerships bringing our faith infused curriculum to students outside of the US with our online learning Ethos School.
A Broad Variety of Educational Opportunities
Your child can grow and nurture their interests by participating in one of the many programs at GAC. Elite tennis players can take advantage of our Tennis Academy. Skilled dancers flourish in our School of Ballet. Musicians are cultivated in our School of Music. Scholars thrive in our 29 AP and 32 honors courses. Students who need additional support benefit from our Academic Support program. At GAC, there is something for every student.
Cormack High School Complex
Both Long Hall and Tidwell Hall are original structures to GAC when it opened to students in 1968. Named in honor of the long-time GAC family, the 34,000 square foot Cormack High School Complex was redesigned and fully renovated in 2016 based on extensive research of best practices of innovative education and needs of the 21
st
century student. Interactive, engaging learning is facilitated by glass walls that allow for natural light, flexible furniture, and portable technology that is easily adapted to hands-on, experiential, project-based learning. The collaborative, alcove settings provide a place for students to gather in small groups to work on projects.
Middle School Complex

The active learning classrooms are flexible and adaptable with writable surfaces for interactive discussions, movable desks and chairs, and portable technology. Glass walls extend the classroom to the hallway that provides gathering areas for small group discussions and project work.
Nasmyth Environmental Center
Equipped with a sizable chicken coop, turtle pond, 2,300 sq ft greenhouse, food forest, vermiculture, and aquaponics, the Nasmyth Environmental Center provides hands-on learning space for students to witness and engage in sustainable practices.
