What Glenmore Christian Academy says..

At Glenmore Christian Academy, students have the opportunity to grow academically, artistically, athletically and spiritually in a supportive community comprised of teachers, peers, parents and Christian values. GCA has been nurturing future leaders and Christ followers since its inception. A K to Grade 9 private Christian school in the southwest of Calgary, GCA was birthed out of the vision of First Alliance Church Pastor, Dr. Wendell Grout in 1980. It was born out of the conviction that a school was needed in the community that would combine both a strong academic program and an equally strong Biblical focus on truth, lifestyles and values. We continue to be a ministry of First Alliance Church in Calgary.

Our Mission

To educate children in a dynamic Christian environment dedicated to excellence in learning and life development.

Our Vision

Our vision for the future of GCA is student-centred and Biblically based, recognizing the worth of each individual and hope for their future. We envision a safe and caring school environment that promotes academic excellence combined with Christian character development.

We desire to be recognized as a Christian school that maintains high academic standards with graduates who become responsible citizens, worldview thinkers, and have a commitment to Christian service. We value “arts” and “athletics” each as a medium to build within our students a sense of self-worth, supporting each one to discover his/her God-given gifts.

We will continue to provide excellent, well-maintained facilities, consistent with our vision of excellence.
