Our Vision
Our vision at Grace Academy is to assist parents in fulfilling their Biblical mandate to train their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. We will provide academic instruction utilizing Classical tools of learning and a Biblical worldview. We desire to graduate men and women who, as servants of Christ, are critical thinkers and able communicators who engage the culture with the claims of the gospel.
Our Purpose
Grace Academy is an integral part of the ministry of Sovereign Grace Church. Our purpose is to assist parents in the discipline and instruction of their children by reinforcing the moral and spiritual training that is initiated in the home. God holds parents, especially fathers, responsible for the proper training of their children
Deuteronomy 6:4-9 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one! You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. And these words which I command youtoday shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bindthem as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates
Ephesians 6:4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
Grace Academy will not assume that responsibility, but will work harmoniously with parents to train their children in obedience to God. We must teach students not only how to make a living, but also how to live.
Philippians 1:21a For to me, to live is Christ
