This school is very discriminating. It discriminate against low income, minority, and disabled students. It lacks the support that these students need.

Nothing but an exceptional experience. Children have made amazing educational progress while being enrolled.

I have had 2 children at this school. Family engagement is extremely high--all activities are well planned and well attended. This school has a lot of continuity--teachers stay a long time and get to know families and students, many people in the area attended the school, sent their kids to the school, and generally support the school. The specials classes (art, music, gym, library) are good and the extracurricular activities are also good. Just a tight-knight, well-run school that is one of the smaller elementary schools in Harford County. My children will go to private school for middle school and high school but we never once thought about sending them to private school for elementary because this school was so good.

After homeschooling for 9 years, my kids were ready to be in a more traditional classroom. We visited Grace and immediately knew it was the right place for them to finish their education. Grace has been the perfect fit for my three youngest children - all with distinct personalities and very different needs. The faculty and staff meet children where they are with a humble, connected, Christ-like attitude. They nurture natural curiosity and foster authentic relationships with peers. There is a palpable sense of community into which my children were immediately accepted! Not only that, the classical Christian education my children are receiving is top notch. I have been using the classical model for a long time and it's truly one of the best, most rigorous ways to educate children. We are so grateful that our family has found a special home at Grace!
