About Grace

Grace Church School’s mission of fostering academic excellence, ethical values, and an inclusive community anchors our program and informs our pedagogy and curriculum, preparing our students to lead meaningful and productive lives.  The school nurtures and educates the whole child, understanding that our humanity comprises mind, body, heart, and spirit.  We celebrate our differences, respect our diversity, and embrace our shared human experience.

In the high school division, students are challenged to reach their full potential, have big dreams, ask essential questions, and wrestle with complex ideas, working to solve real-world problems and participate in the interconnected global community. Our students see themselves as living actors in history and agents for positive change in the world. By linking academic learning and real-world learning, our students understand the dynamic possibilities of using their knowledge and skills to ask new questions and create new knowledge.

As the foundation for our students’ growth and development, the school affirms the enduring value and abiding influence of our historical and cultural past, as it informs the present world in which we live. A blend of tradition and innovation, our high school program grounds students in the core academic disciplines and prepares them to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
