Pre-K through 8th grade — core subjects, taught with care.
Every GLA student receives explicit, grade-level instruction in reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. Our mixed-age classrooms let us teach the core subjects at your child's actual level — not just the level their birthday assigns them.
Pre-K 4
A full-day, language-rich start for four-year-olds. Play matters here — and so do the foundations: Science of Reading-aligned phonics, early math, writing readiness, and social-emotional learning.
- Full day only
- Age 4 and up
- Must be fully potty trained
- Science of Reading phonics
- Foundational math, writing & social skills
Lower Elementary (K–2nd)
The years where reading clicks and confidence is built. We teach structured literacy, concrete math, writing, science, and social studies while keeping the joy fully intact.
- Science of Reading instruction
- Hands-on math & fact fluency
- Writing, science & social studies
- Mixed-age peer learning
Upper Elementary (3rd–5th)
Curiosity meets capability. Students take on bigger projects, deeper reading, and more responsibility across every core subject.
- Literacy, writing & grammar
- Math fluency & problem solving
- Science, history & geography
- Long-form projects & research skills
Middle School (6th–8th)
A small middle school that protects what makes adolescents great — without the chaos of a 1,200-student campus. Real prep for high school across all core subjects, with real adults who know them.
- Pre-algebra & algebra pathway
- Literature, writing & discussion-based humanities
- Science, history & civics
- Capstone projects, mentorship & leadership
Core subjects come first. Everything else enriches them.
Literacy
Science of Reading-aligned phonics, decodable texts, vocabulary, and explicit writing instruction.
Math
Concrete-to-abstract instruction with strong fact fluency and real problem solving.
Science & Humanities
Hands-on units, primary sources, and student-led inquiry across history, science, and the arts.
Neurodivergent-friendly
Movement breaks, flexible seating, sensory-aware spaces, and teachers trained to meet kids where they are.
Outdoor learning
Texas weather permitting, we get outside daily — recess, science walks, and outdoor reading nooks.
Character & community
Morning meetings, classroom jobs, and a culture where kindness is taught, not assumed.
Watch a school day unfold.
From phonics to physics, our days are structured, warm, and intentionally small. Come see how your child would spend theirs.
