School Notes Overview:

Grace Academy began as an dream in the minds of several people in Georgetown, Texas after reading Doug Wilson’s book, Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning. Three families homeschooled their children for a year using the classical methodology and curriculum recommended in Wilson's book. They quickly realized that combining their efforts would significantly reduce their individual workloads and improve the effectiveness of their instruction. The purpose of Grace Academy is to assist parents in providing for their children a distinctively Christian education. Because we recognize that all knowledge comes from God, we are committed to integrating the truth of Scripture into every aspect of the program and to training children to think biblically about every area of life.

Our Mission is to glorify God by serving parents in providing their children a distinctly Christ-centered, academically excellent, classical education as a foundation for life-long learning....
