Im so proud to have my child at Global Leadership. From the teachers to the staff, everyone truly cares and takes the time to help each student shine. My child has grown so much both academically and personally since starting here. The environment is positive, supportive, and full of encouragement. I honestly feel so lucky to be part of a school that values leadership, kindness, and excellence every single day.

I am a teacher at this school. I started teaching 3rd grade in 2019, took one year off for Cancer treatments and returned in 2021. The administration has been incredibly supportive, making sure my specific disability needs are met. The families and students are absolutely amazing because they highly value education. Many of the families are immigrants and as a result they truly appreciate the value of free high quality education. I hold an AS in Early Childhood Management, a BS in Early Childhood Education and a Masters in Educational Literacy. My certifications include Pre-k to 3rd Education (ECE), Reading Certifications K-12, Reading Endorsement, Gifted Endorsement and ESE K-12. Most of our teachers are comparably qualified.
The best thing about teaching here is that administrators are all former classroom teachers and a result we get a planning period and dedicated lunch black EVERY DAY! Additionally, most of our students come from multi-lingual homes and make phenomenal growth every year. The K-2nd years they have more challenges than native English Speakers, but in 3rd grade they really show what they are capable with. We have very few retentions, which considering our students' background is very special. As the campus I work at is 3-8th grade, I'm excited to see my first class from 2019/20 graduate and move on to High School this coming May. Most of my students still attend along with their younger siblings.
I really love working here and its worth my 25+ mile drive to work every day. (On a side note, most of the negative reviews are from 2017, there has been a huge change in staff since that time)

For as long as I can remember the school has been growing in students and growing in trying to make the students education better and making sure that they understand what they are learning.
Posted: May 3, 2019
Teachers do give home work, but they also make sure to offer help and tutoring if they have any questions.
Posted: May 3, 2019
A lot of teachers have left in the past but I think that's a good thing because even though some of them might have been good others were not.
Posted: May 3, 2019
The dean of discipline is very kind but strict with the students. If they get in trouble it's not for nothing and they know exactly what they did to land themselves in that position.
Posted: May 3, 2019
They are always available to make time to hear you out. Yes they may not be free 24/7 whenever you want them to be but they do have different departments that they oversee.

A++++++ My daugher was there from 4th-8th. Could't be any happier. Starting from the administrators and teachers and even custodians treat children with respect. Most of the people don't understand that it is a Title 1 school and saddly to say many parent don't care about their child as they should and teachers and Dean of Students invest a lot of time in to children on top of the academics. My daughter made level 4 and 5 on her State tests in all subjects, common sense that school is awesome! My little one will be going there in a year.

Posted: October 6, 2017
Biased, communist style approach to leadership. If you have a concern to address, they will place a target on your back and start to figure ouot a way to get you to leave. They do not care about the turn over rate of teachers. They are only concerned with making sure they can employ their family and friends and take money from the district.
Posted: October 6, 2017
They are not properly staffed for the special needs students. If you have a child with special needs, this school would be the last place to consider sending them. They do not recognize the importance of an ESE department and the unqualified administration believes the ESE Teachers to be equal to paraprofessionals. They do not budget the funds they receive for these ESE kids properly, leaving them short staffed for the students needs leaving some kids under supported.
Posted: October 6, 2017
They have a dean of discipline that has no experience or knowledge of his job duties. They play favorites, and allow some students to get away with it because they attend the owners church or the students family is friends with the owners.
Posted: October 6, 2017
HORRIBLE. I feel bad for any student left there. They will be so behind when they get to a well run school.
Posted: October 6, 2017

Some are, some are not. Any teacher that is worth it seems to leave the school. Unlike the statistic above, they have a handful of teachers with NO experience or subs in the classes.
Posted: October 6, 2017
The biased approach of the administration flows right down to the students. There are students that get special treatment, because of who they know in administration. This favoritism is not hidden from other students. Student are also able to talk how ever they want to teachers because the "Dean of discipline" has no knowledge of the student code of ethics, and it is not practiced at the school.

Just A.M.A.Z.I.N.G If you want a great education, great teachers, great staff, and a healthy environment for your child, GOCA is the right school Go #gocagamechangers
Posted: June 30, 2017
We teachers at GOCA, revised every part of the homework packet we send home. Teachers are committed to send an accurate and enjoyable homework. Every Friday we check every student homework packet accurately, also the students receive a credit in their subject grade. The content of that homework packet works simultaneously with the instruction given in our classrooms. All teachers are always accessible to have communication with parents for this and any other purposes and for the benefit and success of our students.
Posted: June 30, 2017
I am a proud teacher at GOCA, our team is a great team, our main and unique goal and purpose is every child success and wellness in school. We are Certified and Highly Qualified Teachers. Integrity, compassion, kindness, committment, professionalism, are only a few virtues we teachers model to our school community.
Posted: June 30, 2017
Every teacher at GOCA model integrity, compassion, respect, and many more values needed to succeed as a human being and as a future professional. Also, every month our school choose a character, that character is modeled schoolwide.
Posted: June 30, 2017
I have the greatest leaders, mentors, and staff that someone would love to have. I am blessed I found a place like this to give my powerful message: TEACHING THE CHILDREN, my passion. I do need to earn an income like every human does, but first is my committment, my integrity as a teacher.
Posted: June 30, 2017
At GOCA, we have our ESE department which gives every student with a learning difference an individualized assistance. We, teachers at GOCA, offer a differentiated instruction which means we give the option to these students to work at their best, and we keep supporting them in their way to success.
Posted: June 30, 2017
My school is always working with any bullying issue. Our students are happy, in our school it is not common to see this behavior. GOCA's Discipline Department are very meticulous when it is about this kind of issue, and they get to it very rapidly. They are committed to make our students feel happy and "Bullying Free" at our school.

Son was in 2nd grade last year and had a bullying problem from another student. It was never handled, until the end of the school year, where the student was removed from school. Teachers and Principal just kept blowing it off like nothing was happening

Teachers do not teach during school hours and send homework home with student, without explaining how to do the homework
Posted: December 17, 2016
Have been trying to get a meeting with Principal and teacher since beginning of school year. Principal has never received the message. Teacher is not teaching the students (3rd grade). She sends homework home with the students, without going over how to do the homework. Son says the teachers are always yelling at the students. He has anxiety attacks in the morning because he does not want to go back to that school and be with that teacher.
Posted: August 7, 2016
The principal will lie straight to your face. The assistant principal told my childs class to just leave school if they was having a bad day. The two discipline people dont even have experience in the classroom. One is the bosses kid (I wonder how he got that job). One student bragged that his dad knew mr soroka and even when the teachers wrote him up for being bad, he laughed because he knew nothing bad was going to happen. The kids run the school because the principal is a joke. This school is a a complete mess and once my oldest graduated I immediately pulled my other two out. and I'm so happy it got a D rating. Maybe the district will shut it down just like the other global outreaches in Florida were. Alot of the teachers aren't even certified and are considered long term subs because they cant pass the test.but if you don't want certified teachers teaching your child, this is the place to send them. My youngest daughters pe teacher is one but he's Russian so I'm sure at Global that makes it okay.
Finally if your child had mr d for english at the school feel blessed. He was tge single bright spot in the three darkest years of my oldest childs middle school life. She never opened a book in her life and now because of Mr d she won't stop reading. If you read this thank you. Be prepared parents for a revolving door of teachers that will effect your kids learning..

The school is doing everything they can to hold a high standard in education and care for their students. The classrooms are smaller than in public schools. I really like that the school has uniforms, makes it so much easier on me as a parent. I feel safe taking my kids to this school every day.

My family and I have just relocated TO Jacksonville from Europe, we were looking for a school since last year, a school that our child could feel safe at, get great education as well as for us to have a communication with the school teachers ans administrators, then we came across Global Outreach Crater Academy School, Language school where we met some very nice people from the head of school Mr. Soroka a great Godly man, and everyone else there, our kid enjoying going there, made new great friends, learning now Spanish as well as increasing her skills in Russian and English languages.
Global Outreach Charter Academy is the best school in jacksonville. strongly recommended.
Posted: August 31, 2015
Global Outreach Charter Academy is the best school in Jacksonville that I would highly recommend to any parent. I am extremely pleased with their holistic approach to every child's development, starting from academics, sports, nutrition, social development. Just to mention, it is such a relief for me that Global Outreach Charter Academy provides all THREE (!!!) meals a day. I personally had an opportunity during orientation days to try the meals school will be serving this year, and must admit, food is simply amazing! Fresh fruits and vegetables every day with low fat sauces and dips to motivate children eat healthily. I mean I can rest my head knowing that my 6 Grader will be fed throughout the day, and more importantly, I know every single meal follows strict state standards. This is such an important benefit for me as a working mother with three children. Everything that Global Outreach Charter Academy does just deserves admiration! Amazing teachers, great principals, excellent curriculum, latest technology, nutritious free meals, great educational experience!!!

My daughter was coming home last year and every single day she was talking about her teacher, browsing on her website. It was an absolute pleasure seeing her so committed to reading more as the teacher found a key to her heart for reading!
Posted: August 31, 2015
My child who is in Grade 6 does her homework for around 1-2 hours roughly a day, which I believe for her age and level is sufficient to review all concepts and get her committed to focusing and achieving results.
Posted: August 31, 2015
Global Outreach Charter Academy diverse population is a total evidence of celebrating diversity, equal opportunities to all students. I can see it every day how each student is being so welcomed, greeted, and accepted. Seeing this, children definitely would learn respect for each other and support.

I have four children that currently attend this school from second grade all the way to eighth grade. The past school year and this school year has been the worst. The teachers come and go, the kids grades suffer from the frequent change and are expected to understand that the work that they turned into the former teacher wasn't posted to their grade so there is "nothing" the new teacher can do about their lost work. Not only that, when I enrolled my children there I was told that the school has a zero tolerance for fighting and disrespectful behavior, yet the past two years my children come home talking about students fighting and disrespecting teachers all the time. No one is doing anything about these children misbehaving and it's normally the same child causing problems in each grade. When I go and talk to anyone about the bullying that goes on, the only thing they say, is that the child has a troubled or bad home life. My question is, what does that have to do with the good kids trying to learn?! I wish I never re enrolled my children. I'm enrolling my kids anywhere but GOCA.
Posted: October 19, 2014
TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT My daughter went to this school for 6th grade. When she came back from Christmas break we found out her Language teacher had left. She was heart broken. Two weeks after that her History teacher left. Two weeks after that her Math teacher left. That's when I knew I had to take her out of there. The owner of the school is acting as Principal and has NO CLUE how to properly run a school. He is a joke. The teachers that were good left and went to A schools of course. The kids are overall well behaved. The admin staff is rude and just horrible. They suck big time! If you don't want to ruin your kid's school year PLEASE DO NOT send them to GOCA. My daughter had so much catching up to do at her next school it wasn't even funny! Thank God she still managed to finish her grade with honors. When teachers start leaving schools like that trust me, there is a reason. I'm glad we didn't stick around to find out why. What ever the reason couldn't be good. It is was, they would still be there.
Posted: September 18, 2014
This school is so far a awesome school. My nephews and niece's are attending and one of them graduated this year from high school. she did so great in school and was so advance thanks to Goca and the teachers there..
Posted: September 14, 2014
This school lost many good teachers last year in the middle school. My child was very upset, and I have never seen a school with such a high teacher turnover rate. They had to replace almost all of their middle grades staff, and the website reveals that even more teachers decided not to return. The school is in a bad area of town, bathrooms have to be watched for fights, students are dismissed from a mall parking lot. There are barely any sports teams. Special ed and students who don't speak English are served, but only barely, as these departments are very understaffed. As a result of this, we decided not to enroll any of our other children at GOCA. My child complained daily that students were misbehaving, loud, and disrespectful. Things fly here that never would in regular public or private school. I hope they get their act together with this new academic director, and crack down on the behavior that ruined my son's experience.
Posted: June 18, 2014
I love this school!!! I love the curriculum, the teacher involvement, and the follow up work that my children received. I can wait until the new school year begins.
Posted: April 14, 2014
This year I moved my son to Goca and I am very happy with the teachers Mr.Boyd and Ms.Hellett they have helped him improve in all of his classes. Great school.
Posted: April 9, 2014
I am currently attending GOCA, and i have to say that this school is pretty amazing. As long as I've been attending Global, I saw that that staff here does all they can to better educate the students. They come every day and work hard to give the students the knowledge they need throughout their future years of becoming an adult. Although people say negative comments, i completely disagree with them. Some may say that their are a lot of "fights." To be honest, only one fight has broke out throughout the whole year, and the teachers automatically stopped it. In addition, the school is smaller so the teachers and staff give you more attention and you get more one on one time. Sadly this school doesn't offer a high school yet, but if they did, i would of definitely went. I highly recommend sending your children here. It's a choice you wouldn't regret.
Posted: April 8, 2014
I'm a student at GOCA in the 8th grade and this school isn't as great as it was in previous years. This schools says that it's a place where it's a no bully zone and stuff like that and tries to be perfect but early in the school year in the girls bathroom students were smoking in the school year and a fight broke out with staff watching and didn't stop the fight before it happened. Also the school has drastically improved from last year and has gotten slightly better with new middle school staff that helps us out but a slight downside is that for Geometry Honors and Algebra Honors two teachers left during the year, but they are preparing us for both EOC's and getting us well prepared instead of going lazy and just giving up on us. Personally this school is a good place to send your kids if you live in a school zone where fights happen every hour and you need them to be safe. but if you live somewhere like Kernan Middle is an option I would highly suggest to go to one of those schools.

My children have been in this school since it opened and I am very pleased with the education they are receiving. My children read above grade level and even speak other languages.
Posted: April 6, 2014
I really like this school. My children have been going here since it first opened and I am very thankful to the school for providing a safe and caring environment for my children to learn in. The teachers always let me know what's going on and are open to anything that I would like to be done. The staff are all very nice and caring and willing to work with you.

I have been with the school for several years now, and it amazes me more and more how much attention children are getting and not only from teachers. GOCA is AdvancED Accredited, which helps students continuously to improve in education and transforms them on a global scale. Every child has a mentor. Staff is friendly and it feels like one big family, which allows the school to offer best education!

Teachers really care and will email the parent if a student is failing. Highly recommend this school .

Awful school. I was sooo disappointed to find the principal resigned. Now the founder is acting principal, and he has no credentials to be principal. Good teachers were let go, they finally had a very effective counselor, ESE was great here, but now they have no staff to adequately bring the students to where they need to pass FCAT. So disappointed with this school. My children will not be returning.

I love this school, we are a military family and moved from California i love that it is K-8 all 4 of my kids go there they love it. One of my children has an IEP and they have worked with her extensively. I know that one of the middle school teacher got fired and i am happy he was a bad teacher. I like the they get rid of the bad teachers and keep the good ones. To be such a small school they have a lot of after school programs. My kids have been in everything from drama to cheerleading. This year they want to do yearbook and dance. I saw some complaints that the lunch room is to small that is fine with me they have limited space and they make the best of it. Everytime i have had a problem it was addressed in a timely manner. i reccomend this school to everyone i come in contact with.

Always fights. They don't do anything to get rid of the bullies they give them a warning and let them go. Teachers are rude and mean. They don't clean dishes in the cafeteria often, and the staff are useless. They don't listen at all

Global Outreach Charter Academy has a wonderful small learning environment for their students. Unlike the huge schools of Duval County, this school gives the students more opportunities for one-on-one or small group learning. The principal, Mrs. Anderson, is an excellent leader of GOCA. The staff is always encouraged by Mrs. Anderson to identify the needs of individual students in their classes, and work to help each child develop his or her own potential.

I wanted you to know how pleased we are to have our son attending this school! The school has the most effective teachers we have ever known. My son s teacher has such a warm, personable style that motivates him to do his best. I can see remarkable improvements and I know these things do not happen without a great deal of effort on the part of everyone, and I want you to know how much we appreciate your hard work. Not only the school is setting a high standard for other schools to follow but it has proved their commitment to meeting each student's specific needs. I just can t express how pleased we have been with this wonderful atmosphere! Can t wait to come back!
