Dear Prospective Family,
Thank you for your interest in Grace Academy’s Catholic Cottage School! We understand that selecting the right school for your child is an extremely important decision. We are delighted that you are considering our learning community!
At Grace Academy, our classes are limited, which creates a life-giving atmosphere in which teachers may effectively disciple students and support the parents’ rightful role as primary educator in their children’s lives. Parents looking for a place where their children will be loved and challenged, and where godly character development is a priority, will find that at Grace Academy.
The academic program at Grace Academy is Classical. Students are engaged every session in a wide variety of subject areas. Our students not only interact with great books and materials, but discover the joy of using their hands in electronics, carpentry, and a variety of handcrafts. (This skills training program changes with the skill level of the volunteers we have available to us. If you are called to teach our students a life-long skill please call and speak to one of our directors.)
Sample distinctives that make Grace unique include:
- Living books over dry textbooks
- Short, developmentally appropriate lessons
- Nature study, notebooking and lapbooking
- Book of Centuries and classroom timelines
- Extensive fine arts program including Poetry, Shakespeare, Composer Studies, and Art!
- Enrichment Days
- Home Economics classes
- Gardening and the great outdoors
Grace Academy students are not pegged early on as doctors, lawyers, or refrigeration specialist., our students develop a love of learning in all of their disciplines of study. It is a fundamental truth that all knowledge is from God, and, in light of such truth, we should seek to feast on a buffet of knowledge from as many disciplinary subject areas as possible. Through training in habits of mind and attention, our students are equipped with the tools they need for a lifetime of learning and service.

Blessings,
The Admissions Team
