Our two boys are growing to be amazing young men, thanks to Grace. Our oldest had struggled with math before starting here but thanks to the teachers here he has shown unbelievable improvement. Our kindergartner amazes me every day with his improving ability to read and write and he actually loves coming to school everyday! They have a great art program that highlights student artists every week, their technology program is unbelievable and is well equipped, they start Spanish by at least PK4, and also have music classes and chances for students to be apart of plays throughout the year. Thank you, Grace Episcopal!

Having moved twice (two different states) in three years, it was a blessing that we found Grace. From our first visit, we've felt like part of the family. The staff, teachers, and administrators care about the students and it's evident by the smiles on kids faces. Our kids love going to school and have grown so much over the past two years. As an educator, I've been extremely impressed with the curicular program. We're excited to begin another school year at Grace!
