It is very important to me that Grace Academy is both a classical school and a Christian school. I am incredibly pleased with my children's education as well as their spiritual development since they have attended Grace Academy. The faculty and staff believe strongly in what they are doing and it shines through in everything they do.

I love the fact that my child is receiving an outstanding education while at the same time he is being taught a biblical world view. Thank you Grace Academy!

Grace Academy is a a Classical Christian school with an emphasis on academic rigor founded upon a biblical worldview. The classical method is one of the oldest methods of teaching, dating back to Plato and Aristotle. Our country was founded by men and women who were educated by this method, combining history, science, math, art, music, embued with scripture.

Grace is an excellent school, with a classical curriculum. The school has some of the best kids that I have ever had the privilege of being around. They are respectful of other, courteous, godly young men and women. The Latin program is second to none. VT

Grace Academy provides a distinctively Christ-centered education using the classical methodology. I have been delighted that my daughter has acquired a sound foundation of phonics, grammar (our second graders can actually diagram sentences), Latin, logic, rhetoric, and a good foundation in reading the classical works of the western world. Grace is a godly environment and a sound academic program in a small private school with close community, good discipline and godly teachers. The student teacher ratio is around 10 to 1, which dramatically adds to the strength of the program.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
