My daughter has attended Grace Classical Academy for the past six years and I couldn't imagine a better place for her. The staff and faculty have become family to us and truly care not only for the students' education, but their souls as well - inciting God's wisdom and grace upon them each and every day.

My kids have been at Grace Classical Academy for 8 years now and both of them are excelling in every area. I appreciate the Christ-like education they are receiving. While a solid Biblical foundation is the core of the school and its curriculum, GCA is also a place with high academic standards. Proud to be a part of this private Christian school.

Grace Classical Academy has excellent leadership who seek the Lord in every decision they make. The teachers we have had not only act like Christians in school but have a good testimony outside of school. The education are children receive is excellent and I am so thankful God directed us to this school.
