Pillars of Education

ONE School Pillars of Education

Adventure with Christ

Following Christ is life’s greatest adventure and it’s our passion to engage students in their personal adventure with Christ. One School’s culture, goals, instruction and expectations are grounded in the belief that our biggest responsibility is to help develop world-changing disciples of Christ.
Our students are actively engaged in Bible study, worship, prayer and ministry daily and create and lead ministries and service projects year-round. The pursuit of becoming action-oriented Christ-followers who lead and serve the world is woven into everything we do and into every interaction with our students.

Ignite Your Passions

Empowering students to explore and find their gifts, talents, interests and passions engages students inside and outside of the classroom. This process gives students a voice in their education.
Student-centered learning is not self-centered learning, it requires students to be actively involved with their classmates and accountable for their own learning.
Students are responsible for working productively in teams and also independently while teachers guide and facilitate learning through large group, small group and individual work.

Hands On Exploration

Students are powerful people who learn by wrestling with deep questions, discussing these questions to expand their insight and designing insightful projects to communicate their ideas about these questions with real audiences.
Our students create solutions, ideas, inventions, performances and presentations that emulate real world work processes and provide insight and impact for changing the world.
The maker space is where students explore design-thinking processes and create, make and invent solutions bringing out their inner entertainer, entrepreneur or engineer!

Academics, Arts, Athletics

Students progress through Ohio Academic standards individually so that each student can achieve “mastery” on their own pace rather than their chronological age.
This provides students an opportunity to excel in their strength and continue to work on their areas for growth until they have academic mastery.
Student passions drive the diverse artistic opportunities on campus; we strive to provide opportunities for all students to explore and express their artistic talent.
GCA also hosts competitive Middle School basketball and volleyball as part of the Central Ohio Athletic League.

What Do We Mean by Christian School?

Hear from One Church Pastor Greg Ford on what we mean by “Christian school.”
Making Disciples at One School:
  • Like a typical Christian School, we have chapel every week. But ours is led by the students, for the students! We believe this gives students an opportunity to express their faith in a unique and personal way no matter their age.
  • Every day our students have a daily morning meeting that includes prayer and a devotional. In addition to this, scripture and discipleship is woven into projects and lessons throughout the day.
  • Teaching our students how to walk daily with Jesus is just one way we embody what it means to be a Christian School.
