As an employee of Gilead Christian School for 6 years, I strongly recommend GCS. We love our children and teach them about the Word of God in an increasingly dark world. All children receive individual attention and assistance as needed. The size of GCS is a plus as well. If you are considering Christian education, consider Gilead Christian School as we uphold the truth of God's Word along with a great education.

My daughter and son attend Gilead Christian and have since birth 2004 & 2008. Both children have excelled in the program and the structure of learning the bible and about Christ make the program a wonderful place to be. My children love the classroom sizes and are given the attention they need to excel. I have a daughter who is a straight A student and a son who is just reaching the end of kindergarten and is in the top 3 of his class of 19. The schools views and love of the children shine through and the cost is very low considering the average of school tuitions. Thank you GCS for being the school of choice for our family!
