Christian - Core Value #1
CHRISTIAN is the foundation of our core values. Proverbs 9:10 tells us that the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and so at our core, we seek to point our students to God through Jesus Christ.
At Grace Academy, Christian education is directed by these three ideas:
Biblical Worldview
There is no such thing as a neutral education. It is more than the mere transmission of facts; it involves the communication of life principles and values and, therefore, requires a spiritual context. Christianity is not a subject, but rather a lens that provides perspective for every subject. The truth of God and His word is fundamental to Christian education and permeates every aspect of our goals and objectives, our teaching materials, and our curriculum. God is acknowledged in each classroom as the source of all that is true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, and praiseworthy.
Christlike Modeling
On a daily basis students are surrounded by caring adults who see our students as human beings on the path of being made more and more like Jesus, not just as minds waiting to be filled with information. Christlike modeling is a key component of our calling to develop powerful and positive disciples. All of our faculty and staff are committed believers who are active in their local churches and they are committed to praying for children and modeling a life of discipleship. This results in students knowing that they are loved and motivates them to live exemplary lives.
Statement of Faith
Grace Academy is truly a God-ordained, Christ-centered, Spirit-led family! We are a non-denominational school with families from over 30 local churches represented in our student body. This results in a focus on the essentials of Christianity as expressed in our Statement of Faith.
