Who We Are
      Grace Academy is a ministry of Abundant Life Center. The vision of Abundant Life Center is fruitfulness for the glory of God by sowing God’s Word to our hearts and our lives to the world. One way we seek to fulfill this vision is by providing Christian Education to our local community. Learn more about our church on our website at www.abundantlifectr.com.

Why We Are Here – Christian Discipleship
     I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing…By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
John 15:5, 8
Christian Discipleship is not separate from an academic education but rather gives purpose to it. Knowing and fulfilling God’s will for our lives should be the strongest desire and highest pursuit for every Christian. Therefore, we are here to help parents foster within their children a desire to know God and to equip them to fulfill His will for their lives.
 
Christian Philosophy
     Proverbs 22:6 says, Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. This Biblical mandate God gave to all parents. We desire to partner with parents to assist them in this training process. We consider the parents’ involvement a vital component in ensuring their child has a positive and successful educational experience.
 
     In preschool, we introduce several important foundational concepts of learning and character. Beginning in kindergarten, the classroom instruction transitions to focusing more on Christian discipleship where we partner with Christian parents to ensure consistency of life and learning.
 
     We strive to create an environment where children can develop spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially. All classroom instruction is taught through the lens of a Biblical worldview where God’s Word, the Bible, is the basis of all truth and the foundation from which all learning begins.

Educational Philosophy
     We believe that if children are not taught to look for and see God in every area of life, their perspectives on life will lack faith that God is relevant to every area of life. Therefore, our goal is to teach every subject through a biblical worldview; whereby, children will interpret all matters of life in light of the truth of God’s Word, developing a foundation of faith in Jesus Christ.
