For more than 60 years, Grace Christian School has offered a dynamic education to students in Escondido and beyond.
With its multisensory approach to education, GCS works to meet the needs of all its students, no matter the learning style. And with enrollment at just over 300 and an average class size of 18, each student is taken along a personalized path toward success.
From Preschool to 8th grade, GCS offers students a rich curriculum that spans from core reading and writing skills to science, music, and theater. Thanks to its small class sizes, GCS is also able to offer engaging field trips to all, ranging from tours of the California Center for the Arts for elementary schoolers, and a 7th Grade trip to Catalina Island.
With test scores that place consistently in the 80th percentile nationwide, GCS has garnered a reputation for top tier academics. And a lot of the achievement is thanks to a close connection between families and the school. At GCS, parents are encouraged to visit the classroom and spend time on campus, fostering a tight-knit community. For families looking for a private, Christian education, GCS might just be the perfect fit.
