Grand Rapids Christian High School is one of West Michigan’s top-performing high schools. We have been named an “Exemplary Secondary School” by the U.S. Department of Education, and are recognized for
- An extraordinary culture of faith
- A breadth and excellence of our academics
- The quality and diversity of our fine arts
- Our wide range of athletic activities
Grand Rapids Christian High School encourages learning that builds on students’ gifts and talents. The DeVos Center for Arts and Worship offers hands-on experience in fine arts, both on stage and behind the scenes. We also offer many advanced placement classes to prepare students for college.
Our unique daily schedule – similar to a college model, features classes that meet for up to 80 minutes three times a week, giving students the time needed to delve deeply into a particular subject or topic. This allows students the time they need to master academic skills and pursue elective courses for which they have a passion or about which they desire to learn more.
We expect students to demonstrate knowledge of our Christian perspective as they are challenged to make decisions, raise questions, and examine real-life problems through the curriculum.
