Grace Academy

3704 Valerie Blvd, Sebring, FL, 33870-0338 -

School Notes Overview:

Grace Academy is a unique place in that we are distinctively Christian in our curriculum and atmosphere. We are marked by our strong approach of transforming student to produce better academic result and create program that values the individual learning experience of each child. A Grace Academy education goes beyond the building of strong academic skills. Our students confess that Grace Academy is where kindness, community, trust, respect, joy, and safety permeate their daily interactions with each other and the faculty. Grace Academy’s mission is to create a constructive learning environment that fuses together challenging curriculum with biblical principles in order to promote academic acceleration, intellectual stimulation, social awareness, and spiritual growth in all students. Our emphasis is to provide an enriched learning experience to a diverse population of students that meets their needs today and affords them tools for the future. The educational philosophy of Grace Academy is based on a Biblical view of God, man, truth, and education. Since God created and maintains all things through His Son, Jesus Christ, the universe and all life are dynamically related to God and have the purpose of glorifying Him. This is especially true of man who was created in God’s image, different in kind from all other creation, with the unique capacity to know and respond to God personally and voluntarily. Because man is a sinner by nature and choice, however, he cannot, in this condition, know or honor God in his life. He can do this only by being born again through belief in the Gospel Message, Baptism in Jesus name and the receiving of the Holy Spirit thus be enabled to do God’s will, which is the ultimate purpose in life....
