Educating for Life. Impacting for Eternity.
Supporting Home Education
Grace Academy supports homeschooling families by offering enrichment classes for elementary and challenging academics and elective classes for junior high students. Students participate in class parties, field trips, service projects, and student councils. Our goal is to provide an educational experience that fosters Christian friendship while maintaining high academic standards. Our staff and teachers understand the needs of the homeschooling family and know that not all learning is from a textbook. We strive to support families to train up Christian men and women. The staff and teachers work with parents as home educators.
Preparing Students
Through providing challenging academics, using technology, and focusing on skills for success in the workplace and college, Grace Academy prepares students to embrace their future. Our academic classes utilize Christian curriculum and are taught by experienced teachers. The use of technology is required through the school's online system where assignments and grades are posted. Students submit homework online and participate in forums, discussions, and online learning. Habits for success in college and work are developed through the structure and accountability that are part of every class at Grace Academy.
