Testimonials

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.
Ursula, parent of 5th Grade student

My kids have attended Grace for the last seven years and I cannot say enough great things about our experiences here. Both kids have been challenged academically, developed great friendships, been supported by teachers, and have been involved with sports, which start in third grade. The variety of opportunities here give my kids an incredibly well-rounded education…Both continue to strive to do their best and get insights and clear instructions from caring teachers. I couldn’t imagine a better fit for our family.
Mary, parent

We could not be happier at Grace! Our children are receiving an amazing education with a strong focus on academics AND character. Every child has a different way of learning and the teachers and staff at Grace understand that. They see each child as an individual and support them as needed so they can succeed. It’s a wonderful school and community!
