OUR APPROACH
The educational focus of GBA is centered on cultivating life-long learners. Hearing that students are seeking out knowledge on their own time is music to our ears. In the classroom, teachers emphasize critical thinking to engage students in higher levels of thought. We also take quarterly field trips, encourage creativity, and strive to bring excitement to every part of the learning process.

OUR IMPACT
Grace Baptist Academy provides students with a variety of opportunities to serve—both within their local community and among their fellow classmates. From our twice-annual food drives to leadership roles for older students during school events, GBA encourages students to experience the joy and value of service. We also support foreign missionaries who are faithfully taking the Gospel around the world. During the 2024-2025 school year, our students raised $784.19 for world missions. This helped provide clean water to a village in Pakistan and impacted families in Peru.
