My high school experience at Grand Rapids Christian High School was such an amazing experience and the teachers really genuinely care about the students and want them to go on to college and be succesful in life. Going to Grand Rapids Christian High school opened so many doors going there. In my opinion i feel like it's one of the best high school in state of Michigan.

I had a great 4 years at GRCHS. The majority of my teachers were amazing and the ones that weren't didn't detract much. While I personally am not a Christian, religion never felt overly pressed on me but there were plenty of worshiping opportunities for Christians. One complaint is that there is a lot of wasted time in the form of "Focus time" and other mandatory guided study halls.

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?
9/5/2017
Definitely a wonderful Christian environment combined with the highest level of academic achievement.

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.
