Philosophy of Curriculum
Christian education is an alliance of the Christian home, the Bible-believing local church, and the school. It is the purpose of Great Bridge Christian Academy to assist the home and the church, never to usurp their authority. We must provide a support structure that helps to form and nurture vibrant Christian citizens.
Philosophy of Teaching and Technology
GBCA blends the approach of traditional education with modern technology to prepare students to succeed spiritually, physically, and academically.

A Foundation that will Last a Lifetime!
Today, in the wake of alarming trends in public schools, parents are becoming increasingly concerned about their children’s education. Many years ago we decided to address this situation and began the Great Bridge Christian Academy Preschool. Since then, hundreds of children have completed our excellent academic Preschool program.
Overview
Teachers
Our commitment to high standards is also reflected in the people who work at GBCA. Our teachers are experienced and receive ongoing training. We nurture the lasting bonds that develop between our faculty and families. Everyone that is employed by GBCA has been fingerprinted and background checked.
Spiritual Approach
Our teachers include a daily Bible lesson, including songs, Bible stories, and scripture verses. Teachers also use this time to present life application lessons that connect to children’s lives in a meaningful, age-appropriate way. In all of our curriculum, we pray that God will be perceived as our Creator and in control of our lives and the universe.
Playgrounds
Children learn through play! GBCA is currently rebuilding our preschool playground. During adverse weather conditions, the children play in the gymnasium. The teachers monitor all aspects of playground safety, and the equipment is continuously monitored to make certain that it is safe and properly maintained.
Enrollment Age Requirements
The birthdate deadlines for our school year are as follows:
- PK3 – Children must be 3 and potty trained before starting.
- PK4 – Children must be 4 on or before September 30th to enter our 4’s program.
Discipline & Behavior Management
Praise and positive reinforcement are effective methods of the behavior management of children. When children receive positive, non-violent, and understanding interactions from adults and others, they develop good self-concepts, problem solving abilities, and self-discipline. GBCA also uses time-out when a child does not respond to positive reinforcements. Numerous positive reinforcements are in place within each classroom.
We educate our middle school students in biblical truth and practical biblical wisdom, teaching all subjects from a biblical worldview. We also provide a rich variety of academic programs to meet a broad range of interests and needs, giving every student the opportunity to explore, develop and discover. The aims of our middle school program are to partner with Christian families to build on the foundation laid at home and at church and to prepare students for the high school experience ahead. Great Bridge Christian Academy middle school students are building their foundation for life-long learning. They are challenged to build a foundation in the core subjects of Bible, Math, English, Science, and History.
Biblical Emphasis
At Great Bridge Christian Academy, every teacher is a committed Christian, who cares not only for the students’ academic needs, but also their spiritual needs. All subjects, therefore, are taught so that every student develops a thorough Biblical worldview. Whether it is in Biology or English Literature, students learn what the Bible says about practical issues of life. Bible class meets four times a week in a normal classroom setting. After four years at GBCA, a student will better understand the themes of the Old Testament, lessons for Christians from the New Testament, and specific topics that relate to young believers in American society.
Every Wednesday, students meet in the auditorium for chapel. Chapel is family time for the entire high school. From messages from the pastor and from the staff at GBCA, chapel is designed to address the needs of hearts. As students and faculty member’s hearts hear God’s word, we are better able to apply His will to our lives!
Preparation for the Future
High school students use ebooks to assist in preparation for a technologically based society. Various forms of technology are not just used for the sake of use at GBCA. Technology is a tool that enhances the learning experience.
