Spartan Strong — 2026–27 School Year

GCA parents and community members gathered together

"It takes a village to support our Spartans."

Welcome from the GCA PTO

A new year, a stronger village.

We're excited for another year of supporting our students, teachers, staff, and families at Gilbert Classical Academy. The Spartan Village is more than a name — it's the community of parents, educators, and neighbors who show up for each other every single day.

Throughout the year, the PTO supports beloved school traditions like Bread Bowl, WinterFest, and Armageddon, along with monthly staff lunches, teacher and staff appreciation events, the Uniform Closet, and many other activities that help make GCA such a special place.

Whether you can volunteer at an event, donate food or beverages for a staff lunch, help with the Uniform Closet, or simply stay informed about upcoming opportunities — we'd love to have you involved. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.
