Our Vision

To produce students who model responsible citizenship by demonstrating Christ-like conduct, exhibiting competency in academic skills, practicing teamwork in the community, and demonstrating a Christian world-view which reflects an appreciation for the diverse nations of people and the sovereign reign of God in all of life.

Mission, Philosophy, Purpose and Design

Grace Christian Schools exist to help Christian parents fulfill their divine responsibility of educating and training their children. The school is dedicated to providing a high quality, Christ centered educational program. Continuous since 1969, it has served Long Beach and the surrounding areas by providing a strong core curriculum for K through 6th grade.

Faculty, Staff, Students

Our dedicated Christian faculty and staff help students achieve a quality education in the core curriculum. Our ethnically and economically diverse student population is encouraged and expected to achieve to their fullest potential in basic skills.

Academic Excellence

With encouragement, children are guided to maximize their gifts and talents. Computer education, hands on math, and science, field trips and writing across the curriculum are all used to enhance and provide a creative learning environment for each child. Application of biblical truths ensures an environment enriched in opportunities to develop leadership skills. Students are encouraged to glorify God with their choices. A strong music program and chapel performances help students to develop an appreciation for the fine arts.

Class Size

Our class sizes are small and manageable. Classrooms are spacious and beautiful allowing for a variety of student activities, displays of work, and projects.

After School Activities

Students participate in our EDC program which includes free play, organized activities and a one-hour staffed homework room.

Parent Involvement

Parent participation is a definite part of our program. Parents have the opportunity to participate in the school's affairs through our PTF which meets monthly. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to join with the classroom teachers to provide a more enriched classroom environment.

Community Involvement

Involvement with the local rescue mission, missionaries and community activities allows students to become involved in philanthropy. Our participation with Samaritan's Purse provides opportunity for our students to experience sharing globally.
