In partnering with parents, GCS's aim is to enhance and enrich the education that students are already engaged in at home and in other aspects of their lives. GCS provides opportunities in which every students is known, celebrated, and encouraged to discover and develop their innate, God-given gifts in an environment that teaches Christ-centred values.

The culture and climate in Senior High displays each student’s own learning initiative, as evidenced in a literary discussion circle, competing in a robotic coding competition, holding a mock trial, designing an abstract canvas, or composing individual musical selections. As a school that embraces the 21st-century mantras of critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity, GCS provides all the tools and technologies to support hands-on, experiential, and project-based learning as it develops the leaders, thinkers, and innovators of tomorrow.

To broaden their understanding of the global community, high school students have the opportunity to participate in international educational tours and, for students in grades eleven and twelve, to volunteer to be part of a service trip to the island of Jamaica.
