Grace Community School was founded by Grace Community Church in 1973 and has grown from 60 to over 1000 students in grades K4-12. With the completion of the high school building in 1996, Grace expanded to two locations keeping the elementary on Old Jacksonville Road and moving the junior high and high school to University Boulevard. Today the school exists as a K4-12, coeducational, college-preparatory day school with a Christian Worldview integrated into all areas of instruction. . It is the largest private school in East Texas. The curriculum is rigorous and high moral standards are expected and encouraged. The mission of Grace Community School is to assist Christian parents in educating, equipping, and encouraging their children to influence the world for Christ.

School Notes:

  • Grace Community School exists to teach Jesus. That is who we are, and it is what we do. Picture who Jesus is and was. All that He did and said. What He taught us. What He's still teaching us every day. That is our primary focus. Grace is about Mrs. Allen not only teaching the American Civil War to your child, but to see God's sovereign hand through it. It is Coach Maddox, who uses the game of football to equip your son to endure the heat of August so he'll someday persevere through heat in his marriage. It is about showing your daughter how her hand on the bow of her cello can draw her closer to the heart of God. Finally, Grace is Mrs. Crawford praying over and shepherding the wounded heart of your child over the death of her goldfish, or her grandfather. If your greatest desire is for your child to learn to love the Lord with all his heart, all his soul, and all his mind, Grace would love to partner with you to help make that happen. It's what teaching Jesus is all about.
