GCS stands unashamedly upon the Scriptures
of the Old and New Testaments as the inspired and inerrant Word of God.
This Word of God is the foundation for
all our activities, including our curriculum design. As the "light to
our path," study of the Scriptures in Bible class is of the utmost importance.
Reading is vital, and we teach reading by the phonics method in all grades.
Handwriting is taught, to insure legible, neat work. Creative or expressive
writing begins in third grade; students must learn how to communicate their
thoughts effectively. Language study emphasizes that students must learn
and use proper rules of grammar. Mathematics is taught in order that the
students may understand more of God's orderly world. Science study (which
is openly creationist) teaches children to analyze and appreciate God's creation.
History and Social Studies present our society and the institutions in it
as the work of God and as under His control. Music is taught so children
may sing their praises to God effectively and appreciate the glorious purposes
for which God created music.
HOMEWORK
We believe in the value of learning through repetition, drill, and practice.
Children are able to master significant amounts of material through repeated
practice. However, with the number of subjects taught each day, there is often
not enough time to spend on sufficient amounts of drill and practice. Homework
is used to give children more practice in skills they need. Homework is thus
very important for your child's learning. Not only does completing an assignment
help him learn better, but also the task itself teaches him to be diligent in
carrying out responsibility. A student who does not do his homework is learning
irresponsibility.
RENWEB
In the fall of 2007, GCS purchased a School Management Software system called Renweb. The purchase was made possible by a generous donation from our parent organization, Eagles' Wings. Renweb allows the administration, faculty, parents, and students to access information such as attendance, daily grades, homework, and disciple through the Internet. ParentsWeb is fully accessible 24/7 from home or office. Our parents love being connection daily with the classroom and being informed of their children's progress.

Parents can help in these ways:
1. Check daily to see if your child has homework. Every student (1st–6th
grades) is required to use daily an assignment book, which is issued by the school
at the beginning of the year. Students (7th–12th grades) may be required
to do the same.
2. Provide a quiet, well-lighted location for homework, free from distractions
such as television, conversation by others, other children playing, etc.
3. Go over the child's homework after he has done it, and help him to correct
mistakes.
4. If you believe the child's homework load is excessive, PLEASE CONTACT THE
TEACHER IMMEDIATELY.
5. If something unforeseen arises, and your child is not able to finish his homework,
send a signed note explaining the situation to the teacher the next day. The
assignment will still need to be completed by the student when there is time
to do so.
