Why GCS?

Prospective Families

Dear Prospective GCS Parent:

My husband and I both attended public school, but as we began to consider schooling options for our growing family, we realized that we wanted something more for our children.  We wanted our children to be nurtured and taught at a school that would reinforce the Christian Values that we were teaching at home.  We wanted God’s Word to be the foundation for all that they learned, and we wanted teachers who loved Jesus to truly see and know them.  We were blessed to send our four children to Christian schools from Kindergarten through twelfth grade.  I have dedicated my career to working in Christian Schools and am grateful that God has brought our family here to GCS.

I trust that you now face some of the same concerns that we faced so many years ago, and I am so grateful you are considering Grace Christian School for your child.  Our mission is to assist parents in growing children in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  We believe students need to have a good foundation, be surrounded by a strong network of support, and have the opportunity to enjoy a vast array of experiences to grow into the individuals that God desires them to be.

Since 1981, Grace Christian School has been laying a foundation of academic excellence by exposing students to rigorous courses in math, science, history, and English. Subjects are taught from a Christian perspective, allowing students to see how God uses each one to help us explore, understand, and enjoy His creation.  All students learn a world language and our all-day kindergarten is phonics-based, so that students are decoding words earlier and reading more quickly than their peers.  Students have the opportunity to participate in creative writing, spelling, speech, science, and mathematics competitions with other private schools, furthering the development of their confidence and encouraging the creation of beautiful work.

Grace Christian School is a place where students are surrounded by Christ-filled instructors who nurture students to honor God in all they say and do. Their loving care provides students with the courage to take risks and learn from their mistakes. Growing students in the Grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the essence of what we do, but we realize that cannot be done without partnering with you, the parent.  We believe that experiencing community together is essential to the growth and development of godly families.

GCS is not just a school, but a community of believers who embody the Imago Dei (image of God) and seek to share the love of God with all of its members.  We hope that our families will experience the transformative love of Jesus Christ and, in turn, will seek to transform the world by furthering the kingdom of God.
 

In His Service,

Mrs. Tandy Hicks

Head of School
