H. Ron White created GCA after serving in many education positions.

After an informal informational meeting about starting a new school drew 180 participants, White set forth in creating the Chesapeake area's only Christian school without official ties to a local church.

The school started by sharing space with the Bible Broadcasting Network and soon moved into its own building.

According to the complaint, three boys in the girl's kindergarten class repeatedly molested her during naptimes throughout late 2017 and early 2018 while the teacher played music at her desk.

While the academy, according to its own statement, investigated one such incident, no one from the school reported it to law enforcement.
