Begin. Grow. Lead.

These words mark the journey of a Grace education — a journey I feel blessed to be part of as the Head of School.

Begin with Grace
We celebrate the early years and embrace the value of a strong foundation under each child. We have a laser focus on literacy to grow enthusiastic readers, on math fluency with the use of Math in Focus, on social-emotional growth to build confident students and character keys to lead children on a path to empathy and courage. As a small school focused on the early years, we understand childhood.

Grow with Grace
As students progress through our grades, we know each by name and need. We can help each individual reach potential with differentiated approaches to teaching, low teacher/student ratio, accountability and care. From a nervous preschooler hesitant to leave mom on the first day of school to the confident fifth grader who serves as an ambassador and gives tours of our school, we see and celebrate the journey with each child.  

Lead with Grace
The fact that we focus only on early elementary years makes our fifth graders the top school leaders. This fact allows these young people on the cusp of middle school to embrace a role as mentor, friend and leader to the younger children. In fact, our structure allows our students in Grades 3 through 5 to be recognized as leaders and buddies to the younger grades. This pairing of students creates a bonded community where children can achieve and can celebrate the achievement of others.  

I am proud of our school and our community. I encourage you to learn more about Grace through our website and consider visiting us for a tour. You, too, will be filled with Grace!

Kind Regards,
Patti Culbreth
