Preschool – Grade 5 Model

Grace is unique in our focus on early childhood and elementary education. When it comes to the development of children, we are the experts.

The early years shape a lifetime of learning.

At Grace, childhood isn’t the beginning of the journey – it is the journey. We focus exclusively on children ages 3 through Grade 5 because we know these are the years when confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning take root. By dedicating all of our resources to the foundational years, we create an environment where every child is known, supported, and inspired to grow.

Leadership Begins Here

One of the greatest advantages of a Preschool-Grade 5 school is that our oldest students become the leaders of the community. Long before they leave for middle school, Grace fifth graders embrace meaningful responsibilities that build confidence, character, and a heart for service.

Growing Together

Leadership at Grace begins long before fifth grade. Through our Buddy Program, older students build meaningful relationships with younger classmates, reading together, learning together, and celebrating school traditions side by side.
