In January 2005, a small group of parents met around a dinner table, each sharing a piece of the educational vision that God had given to them. That vision was to create a new Christian School in North Idaho. What they dreamed about has now become Genesis Preparatory Academy. They imagined a school with the goal of serving the community by providing a quality, affordable, Christian educational experience for middle and high school students. Its mission would be to provide a God-centered, discipleship-driven, creative education that would prepare students for life.
In the summer of 2006 the board legally dissolved RCCA and founded Genesis Preparatory Christian Academy (GPA). GPA now serves grades Pre-K through 12th grades, and we are dually accredited through ACSI and AdvancED.
From the beginning, the Genesis story has been a story about ordinary “broken” people trying to be faithful to God as He performs His wonderful works through them. There have been numerous examples of situations or events so extraordinary they can only be explained as God’s sovereign intervention. This “school-building project” has been a significant test of relationships, both with God and with each other, and as the student population continues to grow it is evident that our love for one another has grown as well.
As a Christian school in North Idaho, our commitment remains firm -- to serve families through the ministry of education at the pleasure of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We look forward to partnering with many more families in the years to come as we pursue our mission of offering a God-centered, discipleship-driven, creative education that prepares students for life.
