Gardere Community Christian School is a private Christian school serving Preschool through 5th grade in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, organized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. It serves the Gardere neighborhood and surrounding areas, offering Christian education to every child and family regardless of financial circumstances. In addition to classroom instruction, the school acts as an outreach organization that connects families with programs and resources in the community. The school emphasizes academic development alongside character and spiritual formation, aiming to support strong children, families, and communities. Now in its 10th year, GCCS has continued to grow through support from community sponsors and partner organizations.
