Grace Christian Academy

Grace Christian Academy (GCA) is a private, co‑educational day school in West Bay, Grand Cayman, offering education from Pre‑K (age 3) through to Grade 12. Founded in 1996 by two local families inspired by their Christian faith, the school operates as a non‑profit ministry and prides itself on its tight‑knit, family‑like community.

GCA follows an American curriculum from early years through secondary education, with emphasis on rigorous academic standards, faith integration, and leadership. The curriculum also includes college‑prep elements, such as AP courses and SAT preparation, ensuring readiness for higher education. The early years focus on a play‑based approach, fostering curiosity and foundational skills.

The campus comprises spacious classrooms with smart‑boards, a science lab, pool, music room with steel‑pan, three playgrounds and a basketball court. Outdoor areas include fruit gardens, integrating nature into learning. Students participate in swimming lessons, music groups, STEM clubs (robotics, coding), sports teams, student council, and after‑school care. The school also offers a family‑referral discount programme to support community growth.

GCA serves approximately ages 3–18, across Pre‑K to Grade 12. It is a non‑profit Christian day school. The school operates on a three‑term calendar. While the exact tuition ranges are available on request, detailed fee schedules (including options for family referral discounts up to 35%) can be downloaded from the school’s site.

Grace Christian Academy is ideal for families seeking a faith‑centred American-style education with a strong focus on community and personal development. The school is especially well suited to students who thrive in smaller classes, enjoy hands-on learning, and appreciate Christian values integrated into both academics and day-to-day life.
