Greenbrier Christian Academy (GCA) is a private Christian school located in the Greenbrier section of Chesapeake, Virginia. It was founded in 1983.

History

H. Ron White created GCA after serving in many education positions, but never administrator. 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.[1] In 1994, the school, along with three other schools, decided to leave the Metro Conference for the Tidewater Conference of Independent Schools. This was a controversial move as the conference was admitting predominantly African-American schools and the three schools leaving were predominantly Caucasian.[2] In 1995, the school expanded again by opening a pre-Kindergarten through 7th grade lower school.[3]
