9th Grade

Are you an incoming 9th grader? Grace is the Place!! Why?

  • You start at 8.30 – this fits in with your life and means you don’t have to go to sleep at 9 the previous evening! 
  • In an 80-minute class, you are an individual, not a number. You can get help when you get stuck. You can focus on difficult work without the bell constantly interrupting you. Best of all, you only have to think about four classes, not 7 or 8, every day.
  • There are 10 minutes between classes. We don’t tell you what to do in it. You can eat, talk, text, get help. It’s actually pleasant.
  • Cellphones can be used any time during free time. Enough said!
  • During lunch, you have time to eat, and then flex time for other activities that are not classes such as following your interests through clubs, leadership through student government, worship through a chapel just for high school students.
  • School ends at 3:15 leaving lots of time for homework, activities, sports, or just hanging out.
  • This is a Christian school – not a perfect school – you’ll make friends who will be there for you no matter what life throws at you.

Not convinced yet?

  • We give you freedom and responsibility – we trust you to use free time well.
  • We think of you as preparing for the ‘real’ world – there is a high school commons, you have personal responsibility, there are no bells! 
  • As a senior, you can drive to school, juniors and seniors eat where you want
  • There is a senior lounge
  • Bring your own devices

Want still more?

  • The teachers are terrific and really care about you as an individual created in the image of God
  • The teachers actively help you pursue your goals
  • The teachers are experts in their field of study – they know what they’re talking about
  • The teachers are tough – you don’t want to get marks you don’t own
  • The teachers utilize really cool technology and use hands-on learning

That’s got to be enough, surely? Ok, you wanted to know….

Grace prepares you for all kinds of options after senior year like:

  • A college you want to attend-see where recent Alumni have attended here!
  • A job you are interested in
  • Going into the military
  • Following a passion like art school, Bible college, film school, aeronautical school (yes, they are all real examples)

So what do you think? Take another step…
