Equipping Students to Impact Their World for Christ
Grace began with twenty-five students in the fall of 1984, the result of a vision of a handful of families of Jackson Street Presbyterian Church, now Grace Presbyterian Church. These families desired to educate their children in the nurture and instruction of the Lord, as mandated by scripture. Enrollment increased by more than double the second year and has grown steadily over the past twenty-five years. The school began and has remained a ministry of Grace Presbyterian Church and is overseen by a school board consisting of Grace Church members appointed by the church elders.
Current enrollment is approximately 380 students in K-4 through 12. Grace graduates receive a diploma issued by the state of Louisiana and our graduates are eligible for Louisiana TOPS. Grace students have been accepted at private and public universities in and out of the state. The universities include such schools as Wheaton, Sewanee, Centenary, Tulane, LSU, Louisiana Tech, as well as various others. Many of our graduates have received academic scholarships including National Merit Finalist scholarships. Grace offers dual enrollment classes partnering with LSUA and Louisiana College.
Grace has the most up-to-date computer technology throughout the school including beautiful computer labs as well as Internet access in the classrooms. The faculty has gone through a five-year program learning to incorporate technology into the classroom curriculum.
Grace’s curriculum provides the student with a college-preparatory education within the framework of Christian instruction and example. To this end, Grace offers students rigorous academic instruction, grounded in a desire to educate the heart. The education of our students is seen as a partnership between parents and the school to assist parents in fulfilling this God-given responsibility.
Grace admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students of the school. Grace does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, scholarship programs, athletic activities, or other school-administered programs. All major Christian denominations are represented in the student body.
While Grace is a member in good standing with the Association of Christian School International, the school is also an active member in the Louisiana High School Athletic Association. Our athletes compete in cross-country, soccer, basketball, baseball, softball and track.
