Testimonials

 

Journey and I was driving to school last week, when she said to me, "Mommy, I can't wait until I get to heaven and see God.” I asked her why she said that, and she said, “I want to tell God thank you for all that he has done for me.” I thought that was the sweetest thing anyone could say, and she was so genuine with it...She brought tears to my eyes...I am so glad she is at Gulf Coast and so happy there.   Aisha Campbell

GCCS has been the answer to my family's prayers. As a single mom, I depend on GOD to hold or family together. Since the divorce my son has struggled with fitting in and being comfortable in his skin. He had horrible test anxiety. Yet, after 2 weeks at GCCS, he came home and announced." Mom, I made an 85 on my math test." Excited and proud responded... "Buddy, that's great!" He went on to say, "But, I'm going to retake it." I thought, “Why? he did great”, but before I could say a word, he said.." because 85 is good, but I believe I can get 100!" To have my son not only be proud of his grades, but to volunteer to retake a test, is like, well, it's a blessing.

As for my daughter, she fell in love with GCCS during our back to school event. She said she just knew she belonged at GCCS.. she just felt it inside. I will say to anyone she was right. We believe GOD wanted for our family to be apart of the GCCS family and we thank HIM for blessing us to be a part of it! Vivian Bell, Parent of a 3rd and a 6th grader.


Our son attended GCCS from preschool through 8th grade. He is now enrolled in the CAT program at Lakewood High School. He stated recently that his adjustment to the larger school has been easy, and that he has been very well prepared for his classes, including his advanced ones. While at GCCS, he also learned to care for others, and to show that care. We are very proud of him and the accomplishments he has made, both spiritually and academically. ~ Dr. Kevin and Dr. Rosanna Garner


My daughter, Arlynne, struggled with reading prior to coming to GCCS. In just one quarter, she has become a proficient reader, and is no longer having trouble with her sentences. She now does her homework without anyone telling her to do so. She is striving to make the Principal’s list next quarter, after achieving the honor roll the first quarter. Mrs. Grimm and Mrs. Peeples have really helped her gain confidence. ~ Susan Mansell


I feel blessed to have my children at GCCS, I know that they are getting a great education and are being well taken care of. There is a sense of community among all ages of students, teachers and staff, it has been a great experience for myself and my children.  ~ Nancy Myrick, Mother of a 5th grader and VPK student
 


 I'm writing to let you know how strongly I feel about Gulf Coast Christian School. As an over-protective Grandparent, with custody of our grandson, my husband and I researched many schools. We came to the conclusion that GCCS would be the best place to start our grandson's education. When a child is coming from a broken home and they're having a hard time dealing with the changes in their life, it has been nice to have the emotional and spiritual support of the GCCS teachers. He started in Kindergarten and has just graduated from the 5th grade. In those six years he has been an "A" student and scored above average on his S.A.T.'s, along with most of his classmates. I believe the smaller classroom sizes, experienced teaching staff and personal attention that each child is given is the direct result of Gulf Coast Christian's academic superiority. He has been given a strong foundation both spiritually and academically along with wonderful memories of his elementary school years. I really can't thank you and your teaching staff enough.
 


“GCCS is like a family. Everyone in the school (staff and students) know our boys by name. We feel blessed to have found such a wonderful school for our children.”

Thanks,
Laura K. Dao , Preschool parent
