Charlotte United Christian Academy

Garr Christian Academy & Preschool evolved from Garr Playskool, formed in 1977 as a ministry of Garr Memorial Church for the east Charlotte community. Drawn by the loving atmosphere and nurturing environment, families began pleading for an expansion into elementary grades. Garr Christian School, later to be named Garr Christian Academy & Preschool (GCA), began in 1987 with their first kindergarten class. In just a few years, GCA was providing Christian education for grades pre-K through 8, with a mission to impact our community and the world by developing strong Christian leaders through individualized academic excellence in a nurturing Christian environment where each student feels loved, valued and connected. Throughout their 32 years of ministry, God used GCA to lay a strong Christian foundation in the lives of hundreds that have gone on to impact our world for Christ!
