School Notes:
- Grace Christian School operates on the premise that all meaningful learning occurs in the context of the infinite, personal God who revealed Himself to mankind through His incarnation in Christ. Learning apart from this foundational truth is what the Apostle Paul called "empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ". We believe the "politically correct" notion of moral and religious neutrality in education is a myth. Values are inherent in any educational institution and will be conveyed to students with life-changing impact. We want GCS students to understand the importance of forming their value system based upon Biblical truth as rooted in the Ultimate Absolute – God Himself.
