Excellent school. Great teachers and administration.

My son started in 4k and currently is in 5th grade. The academics are rigorous and the teachers are caring helping him succeed in the classroom as well as encouraging his Walk with God. He enjoys band, chorus, art, computer lab, library weekly as well as playgroup play typically twice a day. He participates in youth ball league activities (basketball, baseball, soccer) and has attended summer daycare. We are thankful to be able to attend Grace Christian School.

We love Grace Christian!! We looked at many schools when deciding where to send our children and Grace just felt like home. They get a fantastic education along with a fantastic Biblical education. Recommend Grace 100%!!!

Graduated from GCS many years ago and knew it was where my children belong as well. I'm grateful for the emphasis on excellence of character as well as academic success. Not only are my children receiving a premium quality education, but they're also receiving a priceless investment into their spiritual condition. So thankful for Grace Baptist Ministries!
