Grace University

Grace University provides flexibility for families desiring a non-traditional school schedule. The school combines the excellence of Grace Community School with a University-Model® schedule and a Classical curriculum. We partner with parents as co-teachers to help create more flexibility for families by offering two on-campus school days for kindergarten through sixth grade and two and a half on-campus school days for seventh and eighth grade. As a part of Grace Community School, faculty and families share the same admission procedures and requirements and the same high expectations. Classes are taught by certified teachers on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Upper Campus, 3105 University Boulevard. Students in kindergarten through sixth grade are in class from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm and seventh and eighth grades start at 8:00 am and end at 3:00 pm on Tuesday and Thursdays and 8:30 am – 11:45 am on Wednesdays. 

New students pay two one-time, non-refundable fees:

• $75.00 which covers the online application process 
• $400.00 which covers FACTS/RenWeb, enrollment, and testing services

The 2020-2021 tuition ranges from $5,000 – $6,800 (depending on ages and services – see FAQ) and is due on August 1st, but may be divided into ten equal monthly payments billed through FACTS/RenWeb. Grace University does not offer tuition assistance. Click here for the 2020-2021 supply list.

Important 2020-2021 dates:

• August 26th – New co-teacher training
• August 27th – Returning co-teacher training and student orientation
• September 1st – First day of school

Returning students will be continuously re-enrolled and are responsible for the following year’s tuition unless the parent has given written notice of withdrawal during the designated annual enrollment period.  

In addition to the expectations for all Grace Community School parents, Grace University parents are required to attend monthly home-teacher training and to teach the supplied lesson plans weekly.  The curriculum at Grace University is rigorous and requires a substantial (at least 2-6 hours per day) commitment on the part of the parents.

The Grace University tuition includes: curriculum which will incorporate such programs as Orton Gillingham based phonics, Singapore math, Foundations and Frameworks reading, composition and grammar, Veritas history, Charlotte Mason science, Latin, logic, Bible catechism, and a reading list.

Students will have access to school libraries during open hours. Logic School students may have access to GCS’s award-winning fine arts and athletics program.
