About Grace Baptist School:
Grace Baptist School offers a quality Christian education in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The purpose of our school is to provide Christian training along with a solid academic grounding. Academic and spiritual standards are high with a special emphasis on character and patriotism. Each student has close, personal contact with well-qualified teachers who love God and love children. Grace Baptist School has been a ministry of Grace Baptist Church since 1983.
Spiritual Training:
The Abeka curriculum used at Grace Baptist School is immersed in the spiritual values that are critical to the Christian home. We start our days with prayer and devotions; our work is centered on the Scriptures, and our staff continuously strives to teach the Word of God as the foundation for development of Christian character in every student.
General Philosophy
Grace Baptist School is a ministry of Grace Baptist Church. We are dedicated to the spiritual and academic needs of our students. Our goal is to provide the best available academic training built on the solid foundation of the Word of God in an atmosphere of Christian discipline and love. Our desire is to train young people to live successful Christian lives in an increasingly secular world. We encourage our school families to take advantage not only of the school, but also of the varied ministries of the local church behind it.
