Your Child, Our Focus
GHA's core values of community, stewardship, and critical thinking are reflected throughout our campus. GHA offers its students strong programs in language arts, mathematics, social studies as well as science that is integrated with a focus on environmental studies utilizing our wetlands via the nature trails. We also offer vibrant enrichment programs through foreign language, PE, technology, art and music (both instrumental and vocal).
Using a wide variety of teaching techniques, teachers lead our preschool through fifth grade students through the pursuit of their academic, emotional and social potential. Along with challenging academic and specialist programs, environmental stewardship and community service serve as integral components of the curriculum.
