My child has attended Grace for seven years and I cannot imagine the child she would be if were not a product of GES. This school has taken a vested interest in the success and growth of my child. Every day I drop her off I know that she is in a caring, supportive, and nurturing environment. Grace's focus on excellence is instilled in everything they do - from academics to community outreach to compassion for their fellow students.Grace's size gives teachers to work with each child and devote special attention where needed or to grow already strong skills. There is no doubt that Grace is the best school for us.

Grace is the best academic experience you are going to get in the area. The teachers are incredible and the level of attention that your children receive is unbeatable. It is also more diverse and inclusive than most other private schools in the area. We love our little school!

Our experience at Grace was terrible. The quality of instruction was acceptable, although we were not pleased with some of the left-wing political indoctrination in Science and History. We could have overlooked that. The real problem was that my child had to cope with a lot of bullying. Several students were nasty to him verbally on a daily basis. He was shoved, hit, and kicked. He came home with bruises. The school administration was unwilling or unable to provide a safe environment for him. He missed days of school because I was afraid to send him, and he was afraid to go. Before the end of the year, I withdrew him from Grace permanently because he was afraid of being attacked in the hallway. The bullies were children of parents who were well-connected to the principal and school board, and so the principal always found a way to blame my son for the fact that a group of girls were hitting, kicking, shoving, and abusing him. In addition to run-of-the mill bullying, he was bullied for being gay just because he was the new kid on the block. He didn't conform to behavioral norms that an insular group of kids expected, and so they labeled him "gay." He would do something honorable (like breaking up a fight between two boys in PE class, or expressing an opinion that it's wrong to cheat on a Religion test), and other students would respond by saying, "That's so gay!" The principal didn't condone it when another boy used a vulgar sexual slur against my son, but she saw nothing wrong with "That's so gay!" which was appalling. We saw little evidence of Christianity in this ostensibly Christian school. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody.

Grace emphasizes high academic standards while also emphasizing personal growth through spiritual and character development programs aimed at raising self-confident, self-controlled, compassionate kids who respect themselves, other students, and even those less fortunate in the community and even the world. They participate in local community service projects and have funded many water wells over seas.
