My daughter is loving this school even though she is the new girl this year. Every day that I pick her up in the well-organized, no-drama, peaceful pick-up-line of cars, I ask her "How was it, Still Awesome"? Huge smile on her face. She has yet to tell me that every day isn't the best day ever! We are happy with Grace.

Absolutely the best school. Not only does Grace offer a great education and prepare students for their High School and College education, they also teach children to be responsible people in a very loving environment. Their staff is great. Communication is awesome.

My child attended GLS for 8 years and it was the best decision. When she began high school she was more than prepared for the academic demands and while we are not very religious, the important lessons of responsibility and morality were also instilled.
Endorse Grace Christian School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
