“I love learning, love teaching and find tremendous joy watching individuals grow and expand their opportunities through education. The teachers, staff, administration and parents at GFA have established an environment that encourages children to love school, which I think is very important. The students at GFA want to do their best, both academically and personally. GFA has successfully captured what all parents hope for – a school at which their children will reach their academic potential in an environment of kindness and respect.”
