Grace Story
Grace Christian School was founded in 1996 when a group of Christians in the greater Bennington area recognized the need to launch a Christian school. Classes began in the fall of 1997 with 35 students in K through 5th grade. In 1998, the school purchased and renovated a hotel into the beautiful, well appointed campus we now occupy. Since our first graduating class in 2005, over 135 students have earned a high school diploma at GCS. Our Alumni have been successful in all types of colleges, in the military, and in the work force. The school is a non-denominational, Christian School. Every subject is taught from a Christian perspective. We inspire students to live with character by teaching traditional Christian values such as joy, peace, respect, hard work, self-control, and their amazing worth. We inspire students to love with the hands of Jesus through teaching them to treat others with kindness, help those in need, and make this world a better place. We inspire students to learn with excellence through using innovative techniques, technology, and individualized learning.
Community
From its founding, GCS has been a community effort. The sense of community is felt when you walk in the door. Students and their families make lifelong friends at school. Parents are encouraged to be a part of their child’s education including helping in classrooms, volunteering, and chaperoning events and field trips. Our Parent Teacher Fellowship provides enrichment to our school community through sponsoring our First Day Celebration, Spirit Week, Field Day, and special speakers. The staff at GCS desire to partner with parents as we together raise children to success.
