I loved going to school here. It gave me so many friends and connections with teachers. The community and families and parents also loved to get to know the dorm kids and would give them wisdom. This school was a great place to grow and it made my beliefs stronger.

Georgia Cumberland Academy is a great school. I only spent a here there but I've made meaningful connections with the students and staff. The school was very capable of preparing me for ACT tests and the whole system is well designed to make students better.

Not a good school. Not a school for the more mature reserved type of people. cliquish immature students and other things student/staff related. Spend your money somewhere else.

I really like GCA!! I haven't been going here for too long, but so far I have been more than impressed. The rules are kinda strict, but they aren't unbearable, and I don't have any issues following them. It's a very spiritual atmosphere and already I've learned a lot about how to strengthen my walk...
