The Grace Academy
Grace Academy Home School believes that the Lord Jesus Christ is to be preeminent in all of life, including education. This simple but comprehensive principle underlies every aspect of our academic study, each activity, and all of our school life.
The Grace Academy is committed to building a strong Christian, Biblical, spiritual, moral, ethical and academic foundation in students.
Our Education Philosophy
The Grace Academy will engage in a collaborative learning partnership with families so that all children, including those with special needs and different styles, are presented with appropriate and engaging opportunities to allow them to get the most fulfilling home learning experience possible.
The Grace Academy believes that children mature at different levels and should not only be encouraged to work at their own pace as they progress towards annual goals, but should not be compared to others or forced to compete with others, which often only impedes their enthusiasm.
The Grace Academy helps students to discover their unique talents, cultivate aesthetic appreciation, develop imagination, make good use of leisure time, and contribute to the lives of others by providing a specialized and individualized educational experience.
The Grace Academy K-12 home school is a community of learners where interaction is not a mere technical relationship but, instead, one that celebrates God's creation
