Want a Math, Science, History Connection Project?
Tell your story!
We’re proud of how Georgia Cyber Academy is providing choice for students across our state tailored to their unique strengths, needs, and interests. We want to let our community know about how your students are thriving within our school environment.
To do that, we’d LOVE to hear about your student’s challenges, successes, and how GCA is supporting them with their unique needs. We’ll then look to showcase these stories within social, print and broadcast media.
What kind of stories are we looking for? All kinds! Would you take a minute to tell us how your student has improved academically, belongs to a cool club, or maybe recently attended a virtual field trip? Does he or she have a teacher who shines? Are they a standout performer outside of class, in music, sports, community service, or leadership? Has your student overcome obstacles of any kind and is now thriving in the online environment?
Tell us why GCA and virtual learning works for your family by using the form below:
