About GCA

Grace Christian Academy is located in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago, where it has been providing quality education to its community for over 100 years. Small class size and personal attention from dedicated and caring teachers allow the students to reach their highest academic potential. With relatively low tuition costs, Grace Christian Academy is a viable alternative to the extremely overcrowded schools in the area.  For more information visit the school's website: www.GraceonKarlov.org

Our partnership 
 
In the fall of 2008, George's Gym decided to partner with GCA. With childhood obesity posing such a high risk in lower income communities such as Little Village, we wanted to provide fitness education to its students.  We began with a twice-monthly visit, using our tumbling class to introduce healthy lifestyle choices. 

Soon, though, we knew that we wanted to aid in the GCA mission beyond our own instruction. This led to an annual fundraiser, whose goal it is to send the entire school on a celebratory end-of-year field trip. The destination is always one that engages the students physically and incorporates their year of fitness education. 

Our method of instruction has also expanded.  Today, the focus is on providing students with not only a fun-filled class at school, but also simple exercise routines they can repeat on their own. Throughout the year, prizes are handed out to those students who keep up with the routines, and the entire group is celebrated in the spring with a party hosted by George's Gym. 

Your support

Our hope is that through these programs, we will be able to provide a physical fitness education to children who may not otherwise have the opportunity.  Our efforts are made possible only through the generous support of our donors, and we hope that you will consider becoming involved in this mission.  Together, we can share the message that an active lifestyle is one accessible and important to all.
