VISION and MISSION
Vision
GCCA aims to become a premier Christian academy of learning in Las Piñas City, providing opportunities in the learners’ pursuit of academic excellence and values transformation that are essentials in community and eventually in national development.
It foresees the Gracean as young model citizen acquiring basic knowledge and skills towards higher academic disciplines to be used for serving God and his or her fellowmen.
Mission
We believe that education is the key to the success of a person, community and the nation. Education from its inception must address the basic needs of the whole person to be truly relevant. Relevant or quality education must be holistic in nature.
In Luke 2:52 it says: “…and Jesus increased in wisdom, in stature and in favor with God and men.” The boy Jesus increased in basic aspects of holistic growth and development or normal transformation of life to its fullness in four dynamic areas:
1. Intellectual - “wisdom”
2. Physical - “in stature”
3. Spiritual - “in favor with God”
4. Social - “in favor with men”
In this manner, Grace Community Christian Academy commits itself to quality Christian Education reflected on its emphasis to Academic excellence and Values education that addresses the development of the total person.
To this end, we would like to see our pupils’ growth and development in terms of:
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->Acquiring basic academic knowledge, technology, skills and values that is morally consistent with day to day living.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->Appropriating experience through fruitful and productive participation in the context of the school, church and community.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]--> Appreciating the values of the love of God, country, self, family, community, nature and ecology, and the world.
A Gracean therefore is:
G – enerous
R – esponsible
A – ttentive
C – ourteous
E – xcellent
A – chieving
N –othing without God
GCCA 2996-2007
GCCA is now on its 7th year of existence since 1999 and was able to minister to more than 300 students, majority of whom were exposed to the gospel before they graduate or transfer to other schools.
More than 50% (total) of our students are /were enjoying 100% scholarship privileges. It is our desire to provide quality Christian education to a many as possible and at the same time also provide generous scholarship to poor and deserving pupils.
This year’s enrolment dropped to 50% due to economic problems, besides, our transfer to Soldiers Hills 2 (which is more remote than the first school site). This did not however, hinder us from helping especially the needy ones.
If you may, please take a closer look to our recipients’ just like the Laurio sisters, Remalyn and Renalyn. They both enjoy 100% scholarship privileges and with book subsidies. Rene, the father of Renalyn and Remalyn is only an ordinary laborer whose salary is not even enough for their daily needs especially for food. Just recently, we allowed them to use our small piece of land of about 26 sgm in Grace Compound in Papaya Street, in Golden Acres Las Pinas for them to put a little structure in order to live temporarily.
Hereunder are our scholars for the School year 2006-2007. We hope and pray that the may touch hearts and lives of our brothers and sisters in the Lord so that we can help our less fortunate kababayans (fellow Filipinos).
Should you wish to sponsor a child’s schooling our school fees for this school year (at cost), is 15,000.00PhP or more or less 280USD including books and uniforms. You can send your gifts of whatever amount the Lord may be leading you through our address:
