"Supporting the Christ-Centered, Classical Home School”
CHRIST-CENTERED
In all its levels, programs, and teaching, GCT seeks to:
- Teach all subjects as parts of an integrated whole with the Scriptures at the center (II Timothy 3:16-17);
- Provide a clear model of the biblical Christian life through our staff and board (Matthew 22:37-40);
- Encourage every student to begin and develop his relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20, Matthew 19:13-15).
CLASSICAL
In all its levels, programs, and teaching, GCT seeks to:
- Emphasize grammar, logic, and rhetoric in all subjects;
- Grammar: The fundamental rules of each subject.
- Logic: The ordered relationship of particulars in each subject.
- Rhetoric: How the grammar and logic of each subject may be clearly and winsomely expressed.
- Encourage every student to develop a love for learning and live up to his academic potential;
- Provide an orderly atmosphere conducive to the attainment of the above goals.
HOME SCHOOL
In all its grades and subjects, GCT seeks to:
- Support the home schooling family by providing tutorials using classical methods;
- Support the authority of the home schooling parent; and
- Provide a comprehensive program through tutorials and home assignments.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of GCT is to support parents in the training of their children to become Godly, powerful, and redemptive agents of change in a fallen world. We aim to educate and train young men and women for discernment and understanding, clear and critical thinking, graceful and persuasive speech, and the redemption of worldviews. We desire for these children to evaluate their entire range of experience in the light of the Scriptures and to do so with eagerness in joyful submission to God. We strive to encourage, and inspire parents toward the goals of Christ-centered and classical training; that they may meld this approach with the Biblical mandate to responsibly train up their children in the knowledge and ways of the Lord.
We desire parents to grow with GCT, to become involved in and excited about the journey that we share.
