Parents are essential to our model! We cannot do it without you! And while we rely on you for teaching your own kids, we care about you, too!

We want you to grow as a Christian.

Like any school, parent play a key role. Our model requires a lot of our parents as you co-teach your children! It’s tough but rewarding, because you will never look back and regret all the extra time you’ve had with your child.

We definitely rely on our parents for all the typical things: helping with athletic activities, manning the Porch or Spirit Store, setting up events to make sure our kids have a great experience…but we also want more for you.

We want Grace Prep to be a place you find community, too. We encourage you to jump in and meet other parents. You’ll be glad to have a group of like-minded people to walk along with you during these days.

We also want you to grow. We provide opportunities for prayer, Bible study and fellowship. We also want to provide you resources for parenting, growth and enrichment!

Parents play a key role in the Grace Prep community.

Parents are the primary people responsible for their child’s spiritual growth, but we will partner with you by giving you opportunities to grow and resources to use in developing your child’s faith.

Jump in. Grow. Find Community.

We are serious about parent engagement. Take advantage of it all!

Make friends while praying over our school. Our moms meet weekly in Room 118 from Thursday, 8am to 9am.🕘For more information on Moms in Prayer, email Kara Gunn.
