About Us
Grace Community School was founded by Grace Community Church in 1973 and began with an enrollment of 60 students in grades 2-12. With the completion of the high school building in 1996, Grace expanded to two locations keeping the elementary on Old Jacksonville Road and moving the junior high and high school to University Boulevard.
Today the school exists as a K4-12, coeducational, college-preparatory day school with selective admissions. At more than 965 students it is the largest private school in East Texas. The curriculum is rigorous and high moral standards are expected and encouraged.
Our mission is to assist Christian parents in educating, equipping, and encouraging their children to influence the world for Christ.
A primary goal of Grace is to provide an outstanding academic education, taught from a biblical worldview. Grace’s educational product is second to none. Our teachers teach and prepare our children thoroughly—not only for a particular test, or for college admission, but for life.

Additional Information
Student Make-up
Grace students come from all socio-economic backgrounds. Because the mission of Grace is one of discipleship, rather than outreach, we serve Christian parents and students. Although Grace is a ministry of Grace Community Church, a majority of Grace school students are from families that attend other churches. Our students come from all denominations within the Christian faith.
Our faculty consists of gifted teachers of the highest order. Our teachers have a tremendous grasp of the subjects they teach. They are constantly seeking to expand and refine their knowledge, and to communicate those ideas to our students. They are dedicated to guiding the academic lives of our students, and equipping them with the tools they need to become all they were created to be.
Grace teachers have created a curriculum of core subjects, a curriculum highly valued by America’s top colleges and universities. Courses are taught in a traditional classroom setting, featuring academic continuity, reading through phonics, biblical training, and science and humanities that are Christ-based.
