OUR MISSION
Grace Classical Christian Academy exists to glorify God, equipping students, alongside their families, to fulfill their callings by fostering an environment that instills wonder, cultivates attention, and motivates students to be lifelong learners.
Our Story
Grace Classical Christian Academy’s story is rooted in the providence of God. In 2022, three likeminded families in the Albertville area began a quest for an excellent, Christ-centered education. Unknown to them, other future families and teachers were also searching for the same opportunity—a classical Christian education aligned to their vision to cultivate lifelong learners with a love of Christ, equipped to answer their callings.
Like the story of Elijah and the ravens in I King 17, God’s provisions revealed His will. In pursuit of God's will for the school, the founding members prayerfully sought His guidance. In His perfect timing He provided necessary funding and resources through generous donors, and teachers necessary for instruction. Grace Fellowship warmly welcomed the school, revealing a persistent prayer as they had faithfully built an addition years ago with the desire to house a school one day. Within months of initial planning, school started in August with 24 students enrolled. These provisions confirmed in the hearts of all involved that God's hand is at work in what we are doing at Grace Classical Christian Academy.
Grace was built and continues to be sustained by families seeking to reclaim their children’s education from the chaos and confusion of the world around them. Each year, we continue to grow as more families and teachers join our commitment to an education pursuing virtue and truth. We seek to be good stewards of God’s provisions to us and continue following the path He has laid before us.
OUR VISION
At Grace Classical Christian Academy, our vision is to cultivate the next generation of wise and virtuous thinkers. We partner with parents to instill a love of learning, the Christian life, and goodness, truth, and beauty. Our graduates will be able to think critically, listen carefully, discern wisely, and reason articulately—prepared to pursue all that God calls them to do in faithful service of their communities.
Statement of Faith
Grace Classical Christian Academy is united in affirming our common faith as stated in the Nicene Creed.
Nicene Creed
​
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again according to the scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
​
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets; and we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church; we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
SCHOOL PILLARS
HEART
We instruct the hearts of our students by inviting them to explore their innate sense of wonder and inclination to learn. We guide them toward a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, trusting Him for their salvation. We raise them to be apologists and defenders of their faith with the wisdom necessary to discern real religion from formal religion.
HEAD
We want our graduates to be well-prepared in all situations, having knowledge and the wisdom to apply it. Our curricular model teaches students how to learn, so that they may continue to pursue education in its many forms as they pursue their callings. We cultivate lifelong learners who continually grow in their understanding.
HANDS
GCCA desires to be the hands of Christ in our local community by living a life of service, spreading the Gospel to the lost. Our service experience culminates in the senior Capstone project, in which students articulate their understanding of calling and vocation in relation to community need.
Faculty
Our teachers view their classrooms as a ministry. We are so grateful for our team and their commitment to discipleship through classical Christian education.
