HISTORY:Grace Christian School was established in 1979 as
a ministry of Grace Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor
Walter Lee Hodges.
MISSION:Grace Christian School exists to honor Jesus
Christ by partnering with Christian parents to educate the next
generation of Christian leaders. We accomplish this through a
qualified, Christian staff teaching a high-quality, Christian
curriculum. Our goal is to cultivate a caring, compassionate,
Christian environment in which Biblically-minded students can
freely and passionately live the principles of the Word of God
while receiving a quality education.
PHILOSOPHY:Grace Christian School holds to a traditional
form of education. Our classrooms are led by the teachers, not
controlled by the students. Our students utilize phonetic
reading, repetition, drills, and memorization for foundational
learning skills early in their academic careers. As they progress,
these foundational learning skills will mature into conceptual and
critical thinking. GCS strives to maintain a truly Christian
philosophy of education, high academic standards, and the proper
emphasis upon morals, discipline, and social development. Standards
of conduct and discipline are Bible-based to develop Christian
character and sound values. The desire of the school is that the
home, church, and school work together to "train up a child in the
way he should go" (Proverbs 22:6). Grace Christian School is a
ministry of Grace Baptist Church.
ACADEMICS:The purpose of our reporting system is to give
parents and students an accurate indication of the progress which
is being made and an opportunity to communicate with teachers about
it. Engrade, our online grading system, and report cards also
function as an objective form of communication between the parents
and teachers. Each student is evaluated in two areas: academics and
citizenship.GCS offers two diploma tracks for high school
students. Twenty-four credits are required for the College
Preparatory Diploma. Twenty-two credits are required for the
Standard High School Diploma.
CURRICULUM:Grace Christian School exclusively uses the
ABeka curriculum produced by Pensacola Christian College in
Pensacola, Florida, in which the Bible is interwoven into every
subject area. More information about this curriculum can be found
at http://www.abeka.com".
EXTRACURRICULAR:Grace Christian School offers a
competitive sports program for our 6th - 12th grade to include
volleyball and softball for girls and basketball for boys. Our
junior varsity girls` team was Georgia state champions for the 2015
2016 school year!Grace Christian School offers an opportunity
for students to participate in Fine Arts Competition. With
categories such as acting, singing, playing instruments, academic
testing, and preaching competition, students can voluntarily use
their talents to compete against other Christian schools at the
state and national level. Two of our students who attended
nationals last year won first place in speech! We also had three
students receive second place in the state for academic
testing.
