Gaarde Christian School | Education

We know that one of the most important decisions parents must make is the one concerning their child's education. We hope the information available here helps you become familiar with GCS and our approach to education, from our preschool up through your elementary and middle school grades. We invite you to come for a visit, which is the best way to see and feel what we are all about.

Gaarde Christian School (GCS) was founded in 1967, and has been educating students in and around Tigard, Oregon, for 42 years and counting. We are registered with the State of Oregon Department of Education and are an active member of the Association of Christian Schools International.

It is our mission to create a loving, Christian environment in which children are educated at a standard of excellence above reproach, from our Preschool Program all the way up through Middle School.
