Testimonials

We are thankful for God’s grace, mercy, and loving kindness. He’s blessed us beyond measure by giving us a model community through Grace Lutheran School. We are thankful for the genuine relationships and faithful stewardship each family member carries. Yes, family members. The term “staff” is not what we witness in such a loving community.

Shawn and Tomeka, Parents of 6th Grade Student

This is our first year at Grace Lutheran School and in private education in general. I can not express how well our child has transitioned. From academia to after school activities, the experience has been spectacular! The school curriculum aligns with our vision for a good education. There is a focus on learning, mentoring, and guidance to help our child adjust and excel as an individual student. Grace is preparing her with techniques and learning that provides her with good life skills. The sports program has been great for her mind and body. We have seen the significant and positive influence that Grace School has had on our child. The entire staff and student body at Grace welcomed our child with open arms. We feel right at home.
