During a meeting of Georgia Charter Schools Commission, the members of the commission voted to expand Georgia Cyber Academy. In an article in The Augusta Chronicle, Georgia Cyber Academy had requested to expand its offerings from K-9^th grades to K-12^th grades. In the past three years, this online school has met the necessary educational benchmarks for No Child Left Behind. By expanding the GCA program, the school will be able to increase the number of teachers for its online classes, offer more elective online classes, and provide more services for students through its virtual classrooms.

According to the article, Georgia Cyber Academy upholds high academic standards for both its faculty and students. Student enrolled in GCA have seen improvement in both reading and math scores. These high standards helped GCA gain approval to expand its course offerings. Using K12 Inc.'s curriculum, GCA can offer students flexible online coursework which has helped increase demand for admission into GCA. With the expanded online school, GCA expects to grow from “6,000 students to 16,500 students” within the next few years.
