Campus Impact because of you...

High School Addition

“Our new state of the art weight room and academic spaces, including Bible, science, world languages, GEAR, and digital media, are transforming student growth in every sense. These environments, including our brand new Broadcast Journalism studio, empower students to engage creatively and think critically through a Biblical lens.”

Holly Garza, High School Principal

“...transforming student growth in every aspect.”

Agritopia Courtyard Misters & Shade Canopy

District-Wide Impact your impact...

Security Upgrades

Because of your generous support, we have been able to implement several meaningful security upgrades, across all four Gilbert Christian Schools campuses.

While we won’t share specific details for safety reasons, please know that your giving has made a real impact in strengthening the protection and presence within our schools. We remain committed to continually enhancing campus security to ensure a safe environment for every student and staff member.

Keys to Literacy Training

Through Keys to Literacy training, our early grade teachers are being equipped with powerful tools and strategies to become reading specialists in their classrooms. This investment is strengthening our ability to deliver the highest level of literacy instruction from kindergarten through fifth grade and beyond. As a result, our students are developing a strong foundation in reading that will support their academic success for years to come.

Worship Culture

At Gilbert Christian Schools, our student-led worship ministry is a powerful expression of faith, leadership, and community. Students take the lead in planning and leading worship, using their God-given talents to point others toward Christ in a deeply meaningful way. We are incredibly thankful for the financial support from parents and family members, which has been a tremendous blessing in helping this ministry grow and thrive across our campuses.

Athletic Improvements

Your generous support has had a powerful impact on Athletics across both our high school and K-8 campuses—providing essential resources like training room equipment, new uniforms, enhanced game day experiences, and support for travel costs. Because of your investment, our student-athletes are better equipped, better prepared, and proudly representing GCS at the highest levels of competition. This commitment has helped lead to multiple state championships and deep playoff runs, reflecting the strength and spirit of our entire community.

Theatre Arts & Robotics

Extracurricular programs like Theater Arts & Robotics continue to thrive at Gilbert Christian Schools, driven by a commitment to excellence and your support. These opportunities allow students to explore their gifts, grow in confidence, and engage deeply in meaningful, skill-building experiences.

Your generous support makes these enriching programs possible, and we are so grateful for the impact you're having in our students' lives.

Business Directory Advertising & Athletics Sponsorship

Our GCS Business Directory now features over 70 business partners, creating valuable connections within our community and supporting families who are part of Gilbert Christian Schools. We also want to celebrate our incredible Athletic Sponsors who have generously committed to supporting our student-athletes and programs in significant ways. Their financial partnership helps elevate the entire athletic experience and strengthens the mission of GCS through community engagement and shared values.
