Grace Christian Academy of Maryland

Grace has provided a great academic and spiritual foundation for our children. We have been pleased with their teachers' balance of grace and discipline. You can tell that the teachers care about their students. The school is striving to add more extra curricular activities and provide a variety of classes. RenWeb allows us to see our children's grades as any time and to easily communicate with the school. We highly reccommend Grace!

I been reading reviews on Grace and I must say the negative ones are suspect. When you send your children to a private school there are rules and regulatiosn that are not present in public school. My kids have attended Grace 5 yrs now and have progressed academically and socially. Now no school is perfect and as parents we need to be involved in every aspect of our kids life. To be honest we brought our kids from a much more strict and expensive envirnoment of Brown Aacademy and we did not get any of the additional attention we are getting from Grace. The Renweb alearts keeps us posted on our kids daily progress and I love that feature. We are very Happy with Grace.

We were excited when we first enrolled our children at Grace, but soon realized that there are major problems. Particular, Christian is just the name on the building. At games I witnessed teachers gossiping about other teachers and parents. I guess they were too busy gossiping to realize that people sitting nearby could hear the conversation. It is so sad, coming from a suppose to be Christian school. In addition, The Admin leaders and many of the staff are vey unfriendly and never speak-- what s wrong with saying, Hello. I guess this is their way of showing Christian conduct. And just think, they are responsible for providing guidance to the children on Christian conduct. Really? The staff does not project Godly behavior themselves, so how can they teach that to the children? Another problem is favoritism amongst the children - allowing one child to do what others cannot and this has been brought to the attention of the Administration. The Administrators also participates in this favoritism. It s sad. Favoritism is given to the staff s children. Christian is just the name on the building. I DO NOT RECOMMEND Grace do not have a Godly atmosphere.

Great School for parents to send their children and be assured of a great education!

Our daughter receives the personalized attention to improve her grades and keep her motivated to learn.

This is my child's second year at Grace. In comparison to the other schools that offer a Christian Education it has the best academic program. I plan to keep my child at Grace until 5th grade and then I will put her in public school. The leadership is somewhat cold and unfriendly but the majority of principals are.

I would not reccomend this school to anyone. Unless your okay with waisting almost $10,000. We have had administration problems (they tend to think because they're a private school that they can make up their own rules as they go), teacher issues (non-qualified), and judgment issues. Private school may sound like a great idea, but this is not. Although it is the cheapest school, you really do get what you pay for. I am very unsatisfied with this school and do not plan on my child returning in the following year or sending any of my other kids to this school.

While no school is perfect, I am very, very happy with Grace Brethren. This is the second Christian school my 2nd grader has attended. As a preschooler, she attended a school SO academically challenging and regimented that she began biting her nails, crying at night, bedwetting and often dreaded having to go to school. She literally loves Grace. The work has been challenging and the teachers have been warm and re-assuring. After that first horrible experience, I sought God fervently on my daughter's behalf, and believe she is in the right school for this season in her life. I have and will continue and have recommended Grace to friends.

We have had our children at Grace for several years and we love the teachers, students, anf families. The only problem we have felt is the administration's 'us against them' attitude they take on with the parents. The person they have in place as director is not a people person and seems to be concerned w/ how things appear more than the quality of the enviroment. Parents pay alot to send to this school and should be made to feel they are welcome any time in the school to help or just observe. We are researching other local private christian schools that might have a more open door policy w/ parents.
