Grand Rapids Christian Schools

Our Mission
Preparing students to be effective servants of Christ in contemporary society.

Our Core Values
Foundations for Decision and Action

Students, parents and staff are made in the image of God and as a learning community are committed to fully developing students' gifts in ways that affirm and celebrate each person.

Our school environment conveys God's love and motivates students to understand and delight in God's universe, exploring old and new questions, governed by a Biblical perspective.

In and outside of the classroom, what we teach and how we teach will focus on understanding our God, the breadth of creation, and how we must respond to God.

Our Christian learning community is committed to excellence, where all students are challenged to develop and use their God-given potential.

Students are prepared to seek to reclaim God's world through work and service.

Our school is a member of Christian Schools International. CSI is a nonprofit organization that has been serving schools in the U.S. and Canada since 1920. CSI is committed to advancing Christian education and supports schools in their task of teaching students to know God and his world and to glorify him through obedient service."
