K-12 Admissions Information – Covenant Learning Model (CLM)

Grace Academy’s K-12 educational program is called the Covenant Learning Model (CLM). Parents and teachers covenant together in the educational process to ensure consistency of life and learning at school, at home, and at church, in order to effectively create life-long disciples of Jesus Christ who possess the faith, wisdom, and character necessary to fulfill God’s will for their lives.

In this model, students attend school three days per week (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays) to receive direct instruction from the classroom teachers. Kindergarteners have one day of guided instruction per week (Fridays) while all higher grades have two days per week (Fridays/Mondays). On Fridays and Mondays, a parent or guardian is responsible to oversee the guided instructions sent home from the classroom teacher.

Christian Parent Partnership

Beginning in kindergarten, classroom instruction focuses on Christian discipleship. Therefore, we partner with Christian parents to ensure effective discipling of our students, as well as consistency of life and learning between the home, church, and school. Parents must also submit a completed Pastor’s Recommendation Form. Families will be required to submit updated Pastor Recommendation Forms each school year as part of the enrollment process if any changes have occurred in where they attend church.

Entrance Evaluations – All new K-12 students will be required to have an entrance evaluation to determine their grade-level readiness.
