Administration is more concerned with fundraising and enrollment numbers than “partnership” with parents and modeling Christ to the school community and surrounding community. Administration labels “secular” and “public school” children and families as lesser humans. Truly sickening. Staff consists of many “educators” who have no actual training or certification. Parents who question unBiblical practices are labeled and shunned. Just because this place is cheaper does NOT mean that you should waste your children’s education on this school that places the word Christian in its name. I wish there was a way for me to sit down with you and share our nightmare experiences. Board, Administrators and “teachers” are not trustworthy and focused on donations and enrollment numbers. Please use discretion and ask to speak with parents who question the administration and largely misguided policies. Please don’t allow yourself to be fooled by a purpose statement that may “check the boxes.”

As the parent of two graduates [pre-school through high school attendance], I can fully endorse GCS as an excellent choice for the education of your children. GCS offers a unique opportunity in our area: smaller class sizes, solid academics, outstanding staff, a sense of community, and very importantly, a Christ-centered worldview. I knew early-on in our experience that teaching was more than a job for GCS staff. I could see how the teachers loved our children, prayed for them daily, and served as excellent role models. Through the years, GCS served as our extended family. The biblical truths that our family believes were reinforced at GCS. There is a focus on building character, integrity, work ethic, and community service.In high school, my children participated in the Early Scholars Program, which gave them the opportunity to preview college academics and simultaneously earn college credit. Today, they are both enrolled in college and are well-prepared to meet their academic challenges.There were also extracurricular activities that my children enjoyed. My daughter enjoyed playing basketball, Bowling Club, and ski days with her school at Mt. Snow. My son loved drama club, gaming club, and any opportunity to perform in plays & talent shows.While no school is perfect, I can honestly say GCS was well worth the investment for our family. I am grateful that GCS helped shape my children and that they still have long-lasting friendships with GCS staff and their classmates that have continued beyond high school.

I went to Grace for thirteen years, starting in kindergarten up until graduation, and I loved every second of it. People thought I was weird when they asked me if I was excited to graduate, and I would say, "no, I'm sad!" I have made such special relationships with my teachers, I have made friends that I will cherish forever, all while receiving a quality education and growing closer to Christ. I was given many opportunities to be a leader to the school body, but also be involved in the community. If I ever needed help with anything, teachers were always willing to make sure I understood the subject. The school's motto is "come see the Grace difference," and if you compare Grace to any of the other schools in the area, I believe that you truly will see a difference with the students that the school produces. Every single aspect of this school is a home run in my book, and I hope people are able to see how easy it is to stay at this school for 13 years under these circumstances!

This has been one of the worst wastes of time that I have ever experienced, I have not learned anything over the 2017-2018 school year and honestly I hope people understand how hard it is to stay at this school for 11 years under these circumstances.

GCS is a blessing to my family! GCS is training my children in a challenging academic environment, while nurturing them spiritually. The values that my children learn at home are reinforced during their school day. My kids like the soccer and basketball programs, as well as the student worship team. I do not know what we would have done without GCS!

I have two children who have graduated from Grace Christian School. I am so thankful for the Christ centered education that my children received. The teachers and staff were not just there to do a job; they became like family to my boys. The 12 years that we spent at the school gave my sons a foundation to go on to serve the Lord as men of God! We highly recommend Grace Christian to any family considering a Christ centered education!

Wonderful school. They go above and beyond in every way for the kids' intellectual and spiritual development. They were extremely gracious and generous when it came to financial difficulties we experienced. Truly Christian in both words and actions in how they conduct business.

We have been extremely blessed by our children attending Grace Christian. The school has wonderful and qualified teachers, great staff, involved parents and strong academics, but most important it is God-centered. Our children are growing each day in their walk with Christ and we could not ask for more than that. God Bless.

My sons were students at Grace from it's first day back in 1997. They enjoyed a challenging academic program that prepared them well for college. They also enjoyed great relationships with Christian teachers and role models who encouraged them to think and to articulate their beliefs. The mentoring they received from coaches and dedicated teachers helped both of them become compassionate leaders in their respective universities and work places. I will always appreciate Grace Christian School and highly recommend it to any parent seeking a quality, caring, Christian education for their children!

Grace ChristianSchool is a wonderful place that nurtures each student and encourages them to become the person God has called them to be. The close, family atmosphere makes it easy to incorporate the school's mission to partner with parents to provide an exceptional spiritual and academic environment consistent with Biblical truth in all aspects of school life!
