Grace Christian Academy offers a very good education to all students. Their rigorous curriculum allows all students to be adequately prepared for college and any other schooling.

This school is at the forefront of what a real education looks like. The classical method of teaching used here, is catapulting these students to a level way above their peers. I give it 5 stars.
1/20/2021
This is an incredible school. Christ is at the center of everything, and the academic standards are high. Of how many school can you say that they *actually* care about the soul of your child? These teachers and administrators do. A student who graduates from GCA is college ready, both in terms of knowledge and defense of the faith. Any child would be greatly blessed to attend.
