I have worked at Grand Rapids Christian High School for 12 years and was a parent of Grand Rapids Christian High School students for 12 years before that. This is a school where students are seen, known, and are taught in the ways they learn best. It is a place where faith is encouraged and relationships are built. I am grateful for the student support services, and for a curriculum that is rigorous and diverse. The International Student Program adds to the rich diversity of the school.

My kids are not always good learners but of all the school they have been to this one has been their favorite! My kids talk chapels that they have when some of the students talk about Christ in their life. Which is a win in my book if they talk to me about their day, and then they talk about chapel!...

Terrible. This school harm’s students. They do not care about safety of children being abused, bullied, have mental health problems, minority inclusion, etc. what a terrible anti-Christian message. Ironic isn’t it?

This school does not ground you in faith or equip you to be disciples of christ. This school just cares about sports and image. I recommend NorthPointe Christian.
