We are thoughtful about our class sizes, and work to maintain an average ratio of 1 to 16, depending on the age group and grade. By keeping class size intentional, we ensure every student receives the attention, guidance, and challenge they need to thrive, both academically and in their walk with Christ.
We take the safety and security of our students and staff seriously, implementing thoughtful and strategic measures to protect and care for every single child on campus. We annually invest in and maintain security measures with upgraded features, personnel, and technology, so every parent can know that their child is safely getting their daily education while surrounded with an atmosphere of joy and peace.

Yes! Our Generations dress code can be found in the Parent’s Annual Handbook. We have found that having a dress code helps to create a focused learning environment by minimizing distractions and promoting a sense of order and respect. It encourages students to take pride in themselves and their school, reinforcing habits of discipline and responsibility. We have found it also fosters unity by reducing comparison and helping students be known for their character, not their appearance, while still allowing for students to express their personalities in their dress-code options of choice.
Yes! We offer an organic lunch plan option, thoughtfully prepared daily by our culinary team, as a convenient and healthy option for our families. Each meal is intentionally prepared with high-quality, organic ingredients to support student wellness and focus throughout the day. We pray this option provides peace of mind for parents and simplifies daily routines for families by taking one more task off their plate, allowing for smoother mornings and less preparation time.
Generations offers career preparation, college counseling, and dual enrollment opportunities to help students take meaningful steps toward their future with clarity and confidence.

Dual enrollment provides the added advantage of earning college credit early, strengthening both readiness and academic momentum. Together, these opportunities prepare students not just for graduation, but for long-term success in college, career, and calling.
Born out of the heart and calling of Generations Church (established in 2000), Generations Learning Center and Generations Christian Academy has always been an extension of the church’s mission-carrying forward its leadership, culture, values, and vision for Christ-centered education.
Generations Learning Center Early Learning Division was founded and began on the Franklin TN campus in January 2016.

In fall of 2020, Generations Christian Academy division launched with 50 students, in grades K-7th. The Founder’s Scholarship initiative was established in 2020 by founder’s Pastor Kraig and LaSandra Wall with an initial gift of $150,000 going towards tuition and scholarships. Since 2020, a total of over $250,000 in Founder’s Scholarships and Merit Scholarships have been given to assist families with tuition needs. Enrollments grew over the first four years to over 200 students in the educational programs offered by Generations Christian Academy in both divisions.
Generations Christian Academy has been a member of ACSI since its inception and is currently working towards accreditation. We were founded upon the standards of excellence in education, and continue to teach curriculum from a biblical worldview. Excellence, hope and joy have been foundational attributes describing the culture of Generations from the beginning. The faculty and staff unapologetically welcomes the presence of Jesus into every part of the school day.
