developing a christian worldview

Overview

We believe in our approach to learning

At Gilbert Christian Schools, we filter every decision through our statement of faith, mission statement and core values. This builds a solid foundation of biblical worldview for our students. Students are provided with rigorous learning opportunities that inspire and ignite their passions.

As Christian Educators, we have the wonderful blessing of helping each student discover their God-given gifts and talents. When students tap into their passions, they begin to own their learning while identifying their strengths and challenges. We offer small class sizes and feel the smaller class size gives each student a better learning environment and more individualized attention.
