School Notes
A Christian school is dependent on a biblical philosophy that
provides the correct worldview and essential truths for life so
that children may be prepared to assume their proper place in the
home, the church, and the community. Grace Academy believes that
all truth is God's truth and that the Bible should be the basis for
all academic pursuits (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Accordingly, the
following points summarize the Philosophy of Education for Grace
Academy.
- Education- We will provide a safe and loving environment for students to learn. We will seek excellence in all that we do. We will work with parents to prepare and equip their students for college, his or her future vocation, and the rest of his or her life.
- Service- With Christ as our example, students will learn the power of serving others with humility. We will teach students to look not only to their own interests, but also to the interests of others.
- Character- Students and staff will strive to live like Jesus Christ and be a light at home, at school, at church, and in the community. Whether in school or out, students and staff will be challenged to honor those in authority, be characterized by the fruit of the Spirit, behave responsibly, treat everyone respectfully, and excel in all they do, for the glory of God.
- Faith- Students will receive biblical training to help them grow in their knowledge of and faith in Jesus Christ. By God's grace, students and families will know Jesus Christ as their Savior and will communicate God's love to those with whom they interact.
