Grace Academy

• Our Mission: To help each student discover their purpose as lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ, by providing a quality Christian education.
• Our Vision: To honor God by providing quality Christian education and experiences.
• We believe faith and learning should work hand-in-hand, and Christian education is the key to producing graduates who will make a positive impact on the world around them.
• As a private institution, it is our goal to provide all students in the tri-state area with a quality education by hiring the best teachers, and offering the best academic, athletic, and fine arts opportunities.
• Grace Academy is accredited by both the Association of Christian Schools International and the Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools.
• As a faculty and staff, we strive to glorify God by supporting Christian families in training and educating students so Christ may reign supreme in every aspect of their lives.
• At Grace Academy, we see athletics as part of the holistic experience for middle and high school students. From the physical competition on the court, to the mental and emotional highs and lows in victory and defeat, we know ultimately that God has given us the ability and desire to use our talents and abilities to glorify Him in all we do - and we believe athletic experiences are a great place to practice this ultimate purpose.

• School Mascot: Knights

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.
