Affording GRACE
GRACE Christian School is a loving community where we join together to celebrate success, confront challenges, and grow together, both inside the classroom and beyond our school walls.
Our students are known, valued, and loved at GRACE.
Private, Christian education is an academic, spiritual, and financial investment in your child’s future that requires a big commitment. We understand this and know that the decision to attend a private school does not come lightly. We encourage you to prayerfully consider if GRACE is the best school community for your child.
