Imagine School At Northport

Gulf Coast Christian Academy Preschool is dedicated to fostering the growth and development of young children aged 3 to 5 in a nurturing, child-centered environment. The school's core mission revolves around providing a high-quality educational program that encourages each child to reach their fullest potential, addressing their mental, physical, social, and spiritual needs. With a focus on foundational skills in language arts, mathematics, and fine arts, the curriculum incorporates vital lessons on safety, health, and manners. Daily Bible stories and weekly Chapel services are thoughtfully tailored to resonate with young learners. The academy recognizes the profound impact of early childhood environments on development; thus, it offers a rich array of stimulating activities including manipulatives, dramatic play, active play, music, art creativity, cooking, science exploration, nature activities, and kindergarten readiness programs. What sets Gulf Coast Christian Academy apart is its commitment to maintaining a low student-teacher ratio and fostering strong partnerships with families. Additionally, the school is licensed by the Florida Department of Children & Families and the Florida League of Christian Schools (FLOCS), ensuring a safe and supportive atmosphere for every child entrusted to its care.

Starting with the 2026-2027 school year, our elementary grades share a new combined K-12 campus at 1998 East Price Boulevard with our middle and high school. Cognia accredits Imagine Schools at North Port, a public charter without tuition, and an annual lottery and waitlist fill its seats. Our standards-based curriculum spirals through thematic units, with inquiry and project-based lessons and character education built into each subject. Imagine's shared values of integrity, justice and fun guide daily life, and the school was named a Positivity Project Green Shield School for 2025-26. An elementary student support coordinator and a school counselor work with students and families. Elementary students can join the Advanced Reading Challenge Club, Art Club and the National Elementary Honor Society, and aftercare is available on campus. We run buses for kindergarten through 12th grade students who live more than two miles away; seats are assigned first come, first served after online registration. As students move up, our Cambridge program for grades 6 to 10 opens more advanced coursework.
