What Sets Us Apart

You’re looking for a school that helps honor the place you have in your child’s life. At GDA, parents remain the primary influence; our trained, Christ-centered teachers come alongside. Your child is known by name. Students' strengths, struggles, and character are cared for and cherished.

Academically, we are classical and relational: a time-tested approach that forms wise thinkers who read deeply, reason clearly, and speak with grace. Within a trusted community of like-minded families, students are discipled as they learn, create, and compete, growing in character as much as in knowledge.

Why GDA?

Gloria Deo Academy partners with families to provide a Christ-centered, Classical education that develops wisdom, cultivates virtue, and inspires a lifelong love of learning. Our students grow in knowledge, faith, and character, prepared to lead and serve wherever God calls them.

$6 Million+ in Scholarships

Our graduates have collectively earned more than six million dollars in scholarship offers, reflecting both academic excellence and strong college readiness. GDA's curriculum, dedicated instructors, and personalized guidance help students maximize their opportunities for higher education.

Dual Enrollment Opportunities

Through partnerships with Evangel University, Drury University, and Ozarks Technical Community College, upper grade students can earn college credits while still in high school. This not only reduces the cost of future education but also prepares students for the academic challenges of higher learning.

Thriving Student Life

From athletics and fine arts to clubs, service projects, and leadership opportunities, GDA offers a well-rounded student experience. Our programs encourage teamwork, creativity, and personal growth, helping students discover and develop their God-given gifts.

What Guides Us

When you give, sponsor, or serve, you help us keep Christ at the center and protect the gift of time for families. Choose the path that fits you. See your impact in classrooms, programs, and campus life.
