Kid Tested, Parent Approved
“GDA has been a safe-haven for our family. They have, and continue, to take our kiddo’s needs into account and work closely with us to create long-term growth, reach goals, and foster a love of learning and wonder in our kids.”
“Years from now I know I’ll see GDA as the best decision I ever made for my kids. They were doing good, but at GDA they have flourished!”
“Two of my kids are fairly shy. They stay fairly quiet around other people, even when engaged. After a few years at GDA, I’ve noticed them feel more comfortable around adults and they do so much better communicating in public!”

Is it affordable?adavis2021-07-01T12:13:32-05:00
GDA is more affordable than most private schools. Payments can be spread throughout the year and the university style helps keep uniforms, lunches, books, and other costs low. Some families have found that trading in their expensive coffee trips more than cover their tuition expenses.
Am I a capable teacher for my children?adavis2021-07-01T12:17:32-05:00
A core foundation of Gloria Deo Academy is collaboration and partnership. Parents are not expected to become experts on every subject. Instead, parents manage learning-at-home by letting their child take control of their own education and guiding them through the process.
Additionally, many parents build relationships with other parents so their kids can collaborate in learning with each other as well.
What if we tried homeschooling and it did not work for our family?adavis2021-07-01T12:24:29-05:00
We can’t promise you that Gloria Deo Academy will work where other attempts failed. But commited parents will find guidance and partnership from the school faculty and staff as well as fellow parents.
Will my child fit in?adavis2021-06-29T18:55:58-05:00
Gloria Deo Academy is the perfect fit for all kids. We’ve found that the Christian environment and expectations dissolves nearly all issues related to behavior, bullying, and drama.
Will this will take too much of my time?adavis2021-06-29T18:54:46-05:00
After certain grade levels, kids are expected to work more on their own at home. This teaches them very important life skills. They learn to take control of their education, manage their schedule, and meet the requirements expected of them.
What about sports?adavis2021-07-01T11:50:16-05:00
GDA is a member of MSHSAA and offers a variety of sports including: Archery, Bass Fishing, Volleyball, Basketball, Golf, & Cross Country. In addition, GDA is extremely competitive in Speech & Debate producing MSHSAA state champions and national qualifiers.
The Future is Bright!
At GDA, your kids can learn to take control of their education. See them make an impact on our community for the glory of God.

You want the best education for your kids.
But sometimes you wonder…
-
what are they learning?
-
are they being challenged?
-
do the new educational fads work?
-
will they face bullying or drama?
-
are they growing?
-
will they reach their full potential?
I understand. These are some of the questions I faced when I followed God’s call to start Gloria Deo Academy. And during the last 18 years, we’ve seen over 3,000 kids flourish at GDA.
Our time-tested approach challenges kids to meet their full potential. We practice a Christian, classical education that creates strong thinkers who aren’t afraid to stand up for the truth.
I’d love for you to take a tour and see what we’re like.
