   Why We Do What We Do!

For over 25 years, Garr Christian Academy & Preschool has served our community by providing a safe and nurturing educational environment where students and their families feel loved, valued and connected. While pursuing academic excellence, our focus has always been on the individual student, endeavoring to customize curriculum, procedures and methods to meet the needs of each child.

In our efforts to truly leave no child behind, we have observed a growing need in our community (and our world) to serve children with special needs, by providing the specialized therapy they need while including them in a typical school environment where they develop socially as well. In North Carolina alone, there are over 140,000 individuals affected by developmental disabilities.

We have a great opportunity to help! We have already seen incredible success in the classroom using Applied Behavior Analysis techniques that include Verbal Behavior techniques in treating children with language delays and other communication disorders as well as Autism, Mental Retardation, Down Syndrome, Seizure Disorder, and other developmental disabilities.

Students are gaining language, knowledge and independence each day! Students that may have been at risk of institutionalization years ago are now, with this special training, able to look forward to happy, productive lives.

You Can Help...

Our waiting list is filled with parents who want to give their children the same opportunity for success. A growing number of parents wrestle daily with the mental and emotional hardship of raising a child with special needs.

On average, it costs $60,000 each year to provide the needed therapies, medications, and special diets. Many families just do not have the resources to provide the needed therapy to help their children, leaving a feeling of hopelessness.

Your gift will give hope to a hurting family that wants what we all want... a bright future for our kids!
