News from Grace School

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God— not the result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

In April, AdvancEd will be conducting an external review of Grace School as part of our re-accreditation process. In preparation for this, students, parents, and faculty will be completing surveys to determine strengths and areas of growth for our school. Next week you will receive an email with links to two surveys. Please take time to complete them. This information will inform decisions in our school improvement process.
