Last day. Best day. 💙💛

Our Lower School Innovators ended the year exploring, laughing, and making memories at Discovery Park of America.

Our Kindergarten Innovators didn’t just learn about Black Wall Street in February, they stepped into it.

Today, via our Afro-Futurism project, they explored money, business ownership, customer service, marketing, and entrepreneurship by creating their own products, businesses, and future visions.

This is what happens when education teaches legacy, economic empowerment, and real-world thinking early.

Our children deserve more than survival. They deserve preparation to build.

Spring Break started with a journey! ✈️

Our Lower School innovators explored “Coming to America” at the Neighborhood Christian Center Spring Jam — from a simulated subway ride and Broadway lights to a pretend flight across the country. 🇺🇸

At Greater Praise Christian Academy, learning goes beyond the classroom. Experiences like this spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence in our innovators every day.

Spring Break vibes at GPCA! 🌸
Our Kindergarten–1st grade innovators wrapped up the week with a joyful lunch party thanks to GPCA alum Mrs. Sherry, and a beautiful cultural moment with Ms. Auta, who shared traditional henna hand art from Hyderabad, India.
Little hands, big smiles, and a reminder that learning happens everywhere. 🌍✨

Lower School is moving to *We Ready for Y’all* because it’s /ALL SYSTEMS GO!-🚦
“Everything Matters:” Instruction + Attendance

We’re ready to see our innovators back and learning. 💙💛
