TEACHERS:
All classroom teachers have a BA and ACSI certificate. Many have a state credential or are working towards one. The teachers set the example in the classroom. Each faculty member is committed to reflect Jesus Christ in their lives. It is our desire that each student commit their life to Christ and understand the truth of the scriptures.
CHAPEL:
Grace Brethren Schools provides chapel for our students each week. Our chapel is to teach children practical principles from God’s word, using a variety of creative age-appropriate worship formats. In chapel your student will learn what it means to love God and his fellow man and to develop in the areas of honesty, trustworthiness, responsibility, concern for others, cooperation, and respect for authority. This year's offering will help support missionary work in the Phillipines.
PARENT/TEACHER FELLOWSHIP:
Our parents who have an active role in supporting our classrooms and teachers are a vital part of our school family. In addition to their daily hands-on assistance, they support us in prayer as well as holding fund raisers to help enhance our school programs.
