FAQs

Q:	What is Great Commission Academy?
A:	Great Commission Academy (GCA) is a Christ-centered co-op which provides classes for homeschooled students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. We meet at Grace Fellowship Church in Avon, Indiana, on Wednesdays from August through April.

Q:	Is this a drop-off co-op?
A:	For safety reasons, we ask parents of children 10 and under to stay in the building. Parents of older students are free to stay in the lobby or to leave and return.

Are parents required to help?

To promote a safe and productive learning enviroment for all, we ask parents to take turns volunteering to serve as hall monitors. This will usually be a one- to two-hour shift a couple of times per semester.

We also need parents to help with set-up in the morning and clean-up in the afternoon. If your child has either the first or the last class of the day, please come in and help us get the building ready. Many hands make light work!

There may be other volunteer opportunities at various times throughout the year.

Q:	How much do classes cost?
A:	The costs vary, but most classes cost about $120-$150 per semester.
