GCCS Core Values

Christian love directs us that all interpersonal relationships be highly regarded. We should interact with one another in truth, dignity, and respectfulness.

Education empowers each of us to excel using good judgment, based on sound principles and knowledge, leading to changes in beliefs, attitudes, and skills.

Our faith in God, through His Son, is the foundation of the trust in all of our relationships.

Integrity refers to the soundness of our moral character, to a God-given desire to do what is right, regardless of the consequences. It is a willingness to be humbled in order to preserve ethics and morality.

Responsibility to God, self, and others encourages us to achieve our potential and to appreciate the talents of others.

Spirituality is the development of the aspect of our being that enables our relationship with God.

Purpose

The ultimate goal of Gulf Coast Christian Schools are to cultivate in our young people an appreciation for their own talents and abilities, as well as the contributions of others.  Bible lessons are taught daily in all grades and all students attend a weekly Chapel in which they participate.

At GCCS, we believe that raising children to be responsible and well educated adults who contribute to their community takes more than just a school.  It takes the School, the Parents and the Community.

A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:12

Parents: The parents at GCCS have a strong and active Parent-Teacher-Friend Association.  The PTFA supports GCCS with social events and fundraising activities to meet special needs of the students and the teachers.

Community: In the community, the local church supports GCCS both financially and with facilities use.  Neighborhood businesses are also supportive with gifts, discounts and item donations.
