I have been a part of the Grace family for over 25 years. If you're looking for a low teacher to student ratio, if you're looking for college prep courses, if you're looking for athletic opportunities, if you're looking for a school who cares about your student - look to 2499 Waldron Rd., Kankakee.

Big enough for a big time education, small enough to take a personal interest. My daughters are infused with a sense of peace through our lord. It anchors them every time they stretch their wings on new adventures. The friends they have made are lifetime, goodtime and on time when called to serve the lord. I appreciate activities that have multiple outcomes for one exertion of energy. I get education, tools to fight a dark world and an example executed by the leadership that will be with my girls for the rest of their life. A real good value.

As a staff member, I love the sense of community of faculty, parents, and students focused on Christ. The faculty are professional and hold students to high standards while showing them love and encouragement. The school's emphasis on developing a biblical worldview in each of its students is noteworthy.

GCA is a Christ- centered environment. When my children walk in, I know they will be taught, they will be loved and they will be encouraged. Whether it is a tooth being pulled, an extra flute lesson being given or a class started with my child's interest in mind, the teachers' love and dedication to the children is displayed. GCA is a family to us and we do not want our children to go anywhere else.

My two children attend Grace Christian Academy and we are so pleased with the constant attention to the curriculum, assuring that the students are prepared for college and life while holding on to the biblical truths taught in each subject. The students are taught to think- not memorize :-). We love the passion of the teachers and staff for their mission work in teaching Kingdom education. Thank you to each staff and teacher at Grace Christian Academy.

As an Alumnus of Grace Christian Academy (GCA), I see the long-term value of a balanced and Christ-centered educational environment that enriches our Community. GCA's student-parent-teacher-community partner eco-system is an environment that has produced Missionaries, Teachers, CEO's, Business people, Military leaders, Physicians, great Parents, and everything in between. Many of us are grateful for the blessing that Grace has had on our lives.

I am an alumni of this school and would never send my child here. When I attended the head pastors and administration where incredibly anti-academic. This school tries to market itself as a college prep academy but as an alumni of a prestigious engineering university I can tell you that is the farthest from the truth. Every other one of my classmates either went to a no name (unaccredited "christian university or community collage). When I was a student there the administration practically bragged on how they focused their resources on other venues such as "their sports program" other than math and science. I could go so much further into specific examples but the message would be the same, look elsewhere for a quality education!!!

I have attended this school for four years, and I have had a myriad of pleasant experiences. From the lasting friendships, to the extracurricular activities, this school has been steadily improving over the last four years. This school fosters growth in all areas of a student. It is an excellent spiritual atmosphere as well as a good academic atmosphere. The leadership is great and the teachers are exemplary. It is an overall great environment for a student and I would personally recommend it to anyone.

My Child attends this school. I can't begin to say enough about not only their educational style but the teachers are outstanding! All of the school staff is so kind and caring and down to earth. As for the education my child is not even in kindergarten and is reading short books and is doing simple addition. They have small classes so they can devote more attention to each student. Which gives them a great head start in life. What a great school for Kankakee County. I just can't say enough about this school!
