About Grace Christian Academy
Faithfully serving families in Covington, Georgia since 1980.
Our History
Four Decades of Excellence
In 1980 Grace Christian Academy opened in Conyers, Georgia, for the purpose of training young people academically and in the principles of God's Word in an environment void of secular humanism.
Since its inception, GCA has established a reputation of excellence in moral and educational standards. Many of our graduates have excelled to successful careers in ministry, education, first-response, the military, politics, medicine, business, professional sports, along with many others.
We give God the praise for the marvelous works He has accomplished and will continue to perform in and through our alumni.
