What GCA can do for you.

Guilford Christian Academy is a private school that allows the students to be taught in their own homes by the parents. Guilford Christian Academy was started in 2002. Jim and Trisha White wanted to provide a ministry to homeschoolers in the state of Maine. They started Guilford Christian Academy to provide families with assistance in educating in a way that is best for each child. Guilford Christian Academy reports students to the proper SAD in the childs district, there is no reporting to the state needed by the parents. We provide assistance to families that allow them to focus on the education of the children. We will meet with the parents and discuss their goals and help them to fulfill them. We also provide diplomas upon completion of the students studies.

The law in Maine allows homeschoolers to report using Option 2 under its guidelines, which is a non-approved private school, this is how we operate. You can view the analysis of the law here at HSLDA. Option 2 is simple, non intrusive and less work for the homeschooling family.

In the primary grades it is expected by GCA that your commitment will be primarily on the fundamentals of academics, reading, writing and arithmetic. You should also be incorporating the preliminary studies of history, science and current events/social studies. This is taking into consideration that your primary responsibility is to raise your child in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Once your child reaches those intermediate years that the government schools call Jr. High, and on into High School your focus should shift to advanced studies. Including more in depths looks at math, science and literature and their research into social/political and economic policies and views that shape the way this world works. The government’s requirements may change over the years and we must be diligent in staying in compliance, however, our goal should always surpass any that the government lays out for us.
