The coaches of the teams are rude and like to cheat. Coach actually said we won that game fair this time. Terrible role models for kids.

As a student of color, don’t send your students here. Despite the diversity they still find a way to be biased towards students of color. Some teachers love the students and others they just hired because they needed to fill the spot. You’ll make plenty of friends but the way they treat students of color, you wouldn’t want your kids there. They’ll get in trouble for the most deficient things and the white kids wont. Believe me as a former student, the proof of this is the fact that most of the 5 star reviews are the family who owns the school, or staff who are just as biased as teachers and administration trying to cancel out the bad reviews.

The school programs that its for the students. But in reality the school is only for themselves. They cater to everyone other than the black kids that attend the school. The owners pick and choose the discipline for each kid . And the black kids always receive a harsher treatment. I would NOT recommend this school to ANY ONE .

Great School!! Way better than public schools. All the staff members and teachers are very nice, understanding and always willing to make the time to talk to the parents. I have two children that are going there right now, my son has been going there for 3yrs and my daughter just started kindergarten. They teach all the students Spanish and Russian which I absolutely love. My son was already singing in Russian the first year. From what I have seen so far the teachers go the extra mile to make sure your children are learning above and beyond, I am very pleased with Global Outreach Charter Academy.

Great school very involved teachers and staff. All wiling work together to help your child succeed. Love the multicultural aspect and my child is multi lingual as well. Because of her Spanish and Russian classes that she takes at the schools. Also the extended day program is a great help! Keeps the kids active also assists with homework 📚. Thank You GOCA setting a new standard in learning

Best school in duval county, they offer extended day at this school which is very nice for working parents and the staff over the extended day program are absolutely the best!! They are very caring and understanding. Have two children attending this school now and have never had an issue with them, they always return phone calls in a timely manner and teachers communicate very well w/ parents, and they have an advantage of learning different languages which other schools dont offer at such a young age.

I enjoy the culture of the school because you see diversity, which is what we’re use to seeing coming from South Florida. In addition the staff here are very friendly and helpful. The curriculum is taught with rigor and it is evident in my son’s homework lessons! I have no complaints 😊

Review №14

The administration needs some adjustments to adequately run the school. The curriculum is very challenging which I love. The majority of staff is okay but needs more English speaking personnel to assist. I enjoy the diversity and cultural acceptance at the school. They do seem money hungry at times but the fees are manageable.

My children have been in this school since1st grade, and I am very pleased with their progress. They are reading above grade level and have been A honor roll students for the last two years. The teachers have been very helpful and concerned about the students well being.Last year they even gave out boxes of Thanks Giving Meals to needy families. I am very happy with the improvement I see every year in this school keep up the good work!!!!!

Love this school. They have many programs to help children learn and grow. The after school program is helpful for working parents. My daughter actually cried when it was time to go home. That says enough! 😊 the teachers and staff are great here too. No complaints or regrets.

Absolutely the worst school my children have ever attended. If I could withdrawal them from the school now and move them I would. They will NOT be attending next year. The teachers are doing fine its the administration that has no idea how to properly run a school. I am completely disappointed.

They push u to be christian, is more like christian school 99% of they fusion is around christian church, breakfast is so early bc they go to church like 5am, the good think is if you child going there in primary maybe he/she can learn 3 language at time, Russian, Spanish and English.

GOCA is a wonderful place for children to grow and develop. This Charter school is very diverse and the kids learn Russian and Spanish. The staff at GOCA are very helpful and you can come to them with any questions or concerns and theyll be willing to answer. My kids continue to excel in their studies with the help of the teachers. Thanks for ALL you do!

Ive been working for for almost 8 years now and I will continue to do so for a while to come. I think our children here really do receive a great environment to learn and better themselves. Everyday I see teachers that go above and beyond to help students and help them accomplish their dreams. I recommend for everyone to come here.

Review №26

I think one of the most important things is when people accept that there is room for growth. The main thing is not to settle for what is but to continuously try to develop better techniques, a better environment, better ways to help parents and students, programs, ect.. Global Outreach shows by their works that they are constantly trying to improve.

Review №29

The Director/Administrator is a former Soviet Union military with no proper education. He and his wife were involved with another charter school in California that was closed due to fraud. Together, they probably make close to $200K/year now (our tax money). Also, good luck if you want to speak to them -- you better speak Russian; otherwise, you will need a translator.Obviously, the needs of the students are not the first priority...

He has learned so much in this school and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Review №33

The kids are great. The administration is insane. Not all of the staff is terrible, but they do give preference to russian speaking kids over english speaking. Inconsistent staffing and favoritism. Also, love how the 5 star reviews are either the family or the administration that is wildly out of touch. The discipline is broken there caps called twice in one week due to lack of control.They also let their personal warped religious beliefs get in the classroom. No other clubs for the kids, but lets have bible club. Halloween is evil and no books with the words myth, folk tale or craft in the title, so how do you expect kids to learn about some of the greatest stories told by mankind? Just a very bizarre place.

My daughter just graduated from GOCA. She is a Freshman now. She has been in GOCA since 1st grade. GOCA has been so involved in higher education. I am very grateful. My daughter now has honors classes in high school. GOCA took the opportunity in her education and adding her in gifted classes, early high school program, and a weekly class of Spanish and Russian. Children are like sponges and GOCA made sure to soak them with knowledge. I have 4 kids at GOCA right now that are on the same amazing path. When I talk to children my kids age I can see the difference in education. My kids are far more advanced than children their own age. Plus the school spirit at GOCA is awesome! I highly recommend GOCA.

The teachers and staff put alot of effort into making sure the students at this school receive top notch education. Ive see 1st hand in how much care the staff has for its students. The environment at GOCA is very friendly and you can tell they care about every single student there and about the education that the students are being taught.

Review №42

I would rate zero if I could please dont send your child here!!!The staff us RACIST: we did an experiment where 3 different students went up and asked simple questions (one student was Russian, another was black and other was Hispanic) both the black student and Hispanic where rejected but the Russian got to go (they all asked if they could use the bathroom & sharpen their pencils) sometimes they run out of food and youll have to wait about 20-30 to get a simple sandwich, they dont care about the students and put minimal effort this man also did the same thing in California (read a few comments in the lowest rating section) and they are very unorganized

Beware of these people they are in only for the money, they do not care about the Children. They operate with minimal funds and will not pay faculty on time or at all.They have closed several schools due to lack of funds the problems are numerous add lack of integrity and proper faculty and the children will always be at risk. They have closed several schools and not have the courtesy to give notice to the parents.150 Palm coast parents showed up to drop off their children to find that they were closed.Global outreach may be next?

This is a great school. My daughter is only in 2nd grade and its amazing how much shes learned. The teachers are invested in the children and they keep in touch with you throughout the year with updates on your childs progress. Tutoring is available at no extra cost. My daughter had some struggles at one time and after getting tutoring she did very well afterwards. Afterschool programs are bonus. No school is perfect but Im happy with this school

Not only does this school help your child to excell academically they influence children to succeed in the arts as well. I love the staff and teachers who keep an open line of communication with you all year long. The school itself is pretty big and classrooms arent overcrowded. Im very happy my child attends GoCa. They are very big on diversity and teach the children at a young age more than one language. My daughter loves the school as do I. One of the best schools in Duval county.

I give them a star because I cant give them 0. Today I had the saddest experience. The lack of respect and human sensitivity in this school. I arrived at 1.25pm ​​to pick up my child because his grandmother passed away and we had to run. Between the pain for the loss and seeing the directors face as smiling he said 15 mim they wont harm you anymore add or take away painI have for my job that responsibilities to abide by the rules. But it would never occur to me to minimize someones pain by following a rule.Perhaps the principal was right but he questioned whether my son should continue in a school where sarcasm and callousness are above humanity.How hard we are honoring things and killing humanity.I pray that men like this stay away from procisions like that.

Very good school, the staff is wonderful they help and are very polite and support with the parents. They have a very diverse community in which you feel comfortable. I highly recommend this school specially if you move from to a different state or country, the reason why is because it is like a big family. The building is pretty and big and they have bible club and tutoring and other stuff going on.Very good school the work team is very professional and qualified, they also help the parents and they are very kind with children and parents. I recommend this school especially if you come from another city or country, the reason is because it feels like a big family. The facilities are very comfortable and good taste also offer childrens Bible club and tutorials.
