Grace Christian School has an excellent and challenging academic program. In my opinion, Grace Christian is the best primary school in Bowie.

My kids have attended grades K-2. The two kindergarten teachers were excellent, but have both moved on (one to another school, the other retired). 1st grade had one excellent teacher and one that could use some improvements in communication delivery and connection with students (and parents). Same with the 2nd grade. The school GREATLY lacks diversity in faculty, as well as within the sessions. The school is predominantly children of color, but the teaching illustrations and summer reading lists greatly lack the diversity to match the student body. Conversations with the principal concerning the need for diverse representation, parent support, or other concerns provide very little, if any change and resolution. It's not the worst school, but there are better options for parents looking for great education, diversity and inclusion, as well as communication and partnership between parents and the administration.

So far we have had pleasant experience. Teachers are responsive and communicate well with parents. I feel as though my child is being challenged and enjoys learning. I’m impressed with the organization and structure of the school.

My daughter came here from a very small outdated catholic school we tried for 6th grade year. She attends from 7-8 and the school ends at 8th. Great involved teachers and dedicated staff, admin and principal, Christian curriculum, nice group of kids and parents. It was a night and day experience from the catholic school and I rest that I send her to a loving, safe and Christ based environment every day. Thank you Grace!

I enrolled my children at Grace Christian School for the 2015-2016 school year and I couldn’t be more pleased. My daughter entered the 5th grade and my son entered Kindergarten. As a parent I am very impressed. I have experienced superior customer service from the administration and staff from the very beginning. The school does an excellent job of keeping the parents informed. I have never sent an email that has gone unanswered or called and someone did not answer the phone. Academically, my children are challenged. The teachers are incredibly dedicated and have above average expectations of their students. They teachers give plenty of support and reinforcement.I was originally worried about my daughter being too challenged because she was having problems in reading in public school and I was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to keep up or wouldn’t be given the resources she needed to improve. Not only has Grace Christian provided her with the resources she needs but they have given her a new love for learning. The music and sports programs are awesome! Parental involvement can always be better but I can honestly say that I haven’t met a parent yet that wasn’t willing or available to provide me guidance and support. No school is perfect but Grace Christian comes pretty close.

I have had children in the school for the past 5 years, and the quality of the education has been amazing. They were reading well in kindergarten and according to the national standardized tests, all 3 have been tracking on between 1-2 grade levels above. The school is preparing my children well for high school. The teachers care about the children and the administration works with you. I've checked out a lot of schools, and I'm so thankful we found Grace Christian School.

Grace has truly been a blessing for our family. Our oldest attended Kindergarten from 2014-15, with Mrs. Stevens, and we couldn't have asked for more. The class size is small enough that children who may need extra attention (good/bad) may receive it, but large enough that they are a team. Communication was insightful, thoughtful, and consistent. The curricula was challenging and provided a balance of activities. Honestly, I can't say enough positive things.

Our son started attending Grace for Kindergarten. We were interested in having him attend a private school, one that focused on Christian principles. I researched the schools in the area and weeded it down between Grace and Holy Trinity. When I went in for the Open House at Grace, I immediately felt at ease; the administration I met with made me feel at home, and I did not get the impression that this school was motivated by money or meeting their enrollment quota. I could sense the pride and enthusiasm about Grace, and knew this was somewhere our child needed to be. He will enter Second Grade next year and I know we made the right choice! From the curriculum and learning programs, the expertise and patience of the teachers, the way Christ is implemented in lesson plans and life decisions, to the willingness of the parent / faculty population to assist with matters pertaining to the school, we have been nothing short than pleased. We continue to see spritual and educational growth for our son and couldn't be more happier.

We love Grace Christian. We've been there since our oldest was in kindergarten, and now have two kids in school. I think besides being so pleased with their education, the love and compassion that the teachers/staff/administration have for our kids is amazing. You can tell there is an environment of support between the faculty, and we have personally experienced grace and love from all involved when our oldest had a couple serious injuries. The school was great working with us to make up work and made sure that everything got done and welcomed him back with such enthusiasm. Jesus is lifted up in every area, and I love that they partner with us as parents to instill Christ-like values in our kids. As a bonus they have band, art, choir, music, a real library, fun and interesting field trips, a fabulous fine arts program, LEGO robotics, aftercare program, and sports teams. One of the most reasonable tuitions for the area and it is so worth it!!

Grace Christian School is a wonderful school. They have a rigorous academic platform which allows kids to get ahead of most in public and private schools in the Prince Georges County area and their tuition is very reasonable. They have aftercare and programs to help students that need tutoring which is extremely valuable. They also provide great sports (Girls Vball and Girls Basketball were state champions in 2015) and they have a unique Fine Arts Program where kids can celebrate other talents in music, science, history, art, crafts. The teachers are loving, fun and believe in teaching your child to know GOD and practice patience, humbleness and kindness. If you are looking for a Great School, come to Grace Christian School.

My daughter have been a student at Grace Christian School for 3 years, we enrolled her in kindergarten. We are very pleased with the academics that she is being taught here at GCS with all subjects. We love the teachers, administration, the diversity and teachings of Jesus Christ. I love the foundation that is being instilled in my child about the word of the LORD. Each time we come to the school the teachers and staff always displays a very friendly and warm demeanor. The parent involvement and participation with the school is great. Also, the cost of the tuition is affordable compared to the various private schools in the area. We are very pleased with GCS and we pray that the school continue to offer to us what they have given us thus far and get even better for the years to come. Remember no school is perfect, but if you are considering GCS as a choice for your child, I don t think you will be disappointed!!! A GREAT SCHOOL!!!

We have been at Grace for 2 years now, and we love the teachers, environment and admin staff. They have a committment to walking with GOD and teach your child in every subject to submit to him - a foundation that will last a lifetime. We are so pleased with the help and guidance our child has got since she has started as she struggled at Holy Trinity and got no help. The tuition is worth every penny and the teachers are very humble, committed and dedicated to the development of your child. They have a phenomenal fine arts program, great diversity (like the real world) and parent envolvement. We wish we had found Grace in PreK, as this is exactly where we should have been all along! Both of our kids love to go to school everyday and miss when they are on break! Amazing School!

I enrolled my son in Grace Christian School three years ago and he attended it from the 6th to the 8th grade. I could not have asked for a better middle school experience for him. He thoroughly enjoyed attending this school and learned a lot as well. I would highly recommend Grace Christian school to anyone looking for a good private school to attend. I have nothing but praise for their staff and administrative staff. When my son graduated from the 8th grade, the school gave them a fabulous send off, one like I've never seen before. For what we paid we received generously back from the school. This is truly a great school for your child to attend.
