Foundations Academy- Kindergarten to 5th

Welcome to the Foundations Academy!

"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." I Timothy 4:12

The Foundations Academy strives to develop a lifetime love of learning by providing a firm foundation spiritually, academically, emotionally, and socially from which students can confidently impact their world for Christ.

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

Dr. Jennifer Harrison - Principal

Dear Parents,

I am delighted to introduce myself to you.  My name is Jennifer (Jenn) Harrison, and I am honored to serve as the Beginnings Academy and Foundations Academy Principal at Greenbrier Christian Academy.

I graduated from Belmont University with a Bachelor’s in Music Education and later earned my Master’s in Music Education from Old Dominion University. In 2022, I completed the Certificate in Early Education Leadership from Harvard University, and most recently, I earned my Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Liberty University. I joined the GCA family in 2017 after teaching in the Virginia Beach and Norfolk public school systems for 11 years.

I have three wonderful children who attend GCA, as well.  Emma is in 9th grade, Cody in 4th, and Evie in 2nd.  GCA has blessed my family so much, and I am so thankful that the Lord has given me the opportunity to serve here.  I love the students and staff at GCA, and I am excited to work with each of you.  

It is my sincere hope that you will be as blessed by GCA as I have been.  I cannot wait to work with each of you, to get to know your child(ren) better, and to help foster your child(ren)'s growth with a Christ-centered education that I know you will find is second to none!

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have.  My email address is jcharrison@gcagators.org , and my phone number is 757-547-9595 ex329.  I look forward to partnering with you this year, and in years to come.

In His Service,
Jenn Harrison
