What GP Students Are Saying:
"If there is one thing I'm sure about, it's that Grace Prep is the best place I've ever been..."
“We’ve had the opportunity to play in a sport, where we wouldn’t have had the opportunity in a larger school.”
What GP Parents Are Saying:
 “We are very appreciative of the faculty at Grace Prep. It is a place where love bears and forebears; gives and forgives. You have godly leaders who live by example: otherwise, he who thinks he leads and has no followers is merely taking a walk, which is not the case at Grace Prep. Thank you for your faithfulness to Grace Prep!”
- Doug and Debbie Kalmbach
“Our daughter is growing so much! It is great to see her so excited about her faith and about school. Her involvement with The Secret Keeper Girl tour was a wonderful opportunity for her. She is challenged to live her faith and is helping as we grow in ours.”
- Drew and Barb Beben
 “This year for the first time since our children were born, I am working full-time. I have less time to spend with my daughter. That makes her school environment/time even more important. I have a sense of assurance that the staff are going to be good role models.”
- Debbie Weidhaas
“Our son chose, on his own, to attend Grace Prep, as he knew it would not be in his best interest to “get lost in the crowd” at public school. Not only has Grace helped him mature academically but spiritually as well. As he is becoming the man God desires him to be, he has been instrumental in shepherding his siblings and us, as his parents, back to right and healthy relationships with God. We are gratefully blessed.”
- Mark and Nanette Zerbe
“The small environment has been very nurturing and motivating for our daughter. She has been motivated to excel in all areas. Because she has relationships with the teachers and is closely intermixed with upperclassmen, she is compelled to do high quality work.”
- Dennis and Sharon Devlin
"For Kirsty and our family as a whole, Grace Prep has created unique learning opportunities not only in academics but in life as well. We can't say it has been entirely easy but it has been a very worthwhile experience. Grace has opened many doors, including spiritual, in her life and ours. She has risen to the challenges presented through Grace both academically and spiritually (though sometimes not always willingly!) Attending Grace was Kirsty's decision, one we have not regretted one bit! We are so thankful to God and the Gresh's for this blessing!"
- Dale and Jackie Hershberger
“As a parent, it’s comforting to know who to speak to and how to resolve issues that arrive. It’s also comforting to know that other parents maintain the same standards for their kids!”

Read what Maggie Kaleita, Class of '06 had to say about her experience at Grace Prep.
"If there is one thing I’m sure about, it’s that Grace Prep is the best place I’ve ever been. Grace Prep has given me the opportunity to branch out from my comfort zone. It’s begun providing me with a better education than I could ever have gotten at State High, and has given me hope and meaning in life...
At grace Prep I can do things I never thought I could. Before school started I was talked into joining the soccer team. Something that just months ago would have seemed crazy to me. I’ve never been athletic and of all the sports I could have decided to play, soccer would be one of the last ones on my list. At grace Prep I can say things without fear of being judged, and there is not one student here that I can’t consider a friend. I never dreamed any of these things could be possible when I was at State High.
I feel that my mind is being enriched every second I’m in school at Grace Prep. I already have strong bonds and meaningful relationships with each of my teachers, and because of this I feel comfortable asking questions when I don’t understand something, which is one thing I have never been able to do. Nothing we learn here is just a random fact: everything we learn can incorporate into real life, making all of it that much more meaningful. Even things as elementary as the bright colors on the walls contribute to our quality education. The colors keep me more alert and at the same time make me feel relaxed and at home. I never dreamed learning could be this exciting.
Grace Prep has already begun to enrich not only my mind, but my spirit as well. My relationship with God had been on a very long hold in the months before I came here. I came to the extreme Grace trip with half a closed mind, but by the time Danny was taking my hand and the entire school was joining him in prayer just for me. I was getting chills and I know there could be no more holding back. I put the past behind me and jumped in with both feet. Now my life has meaning, and I have worth and a right to be here. I can’t explain the feeling but I never, ever want it to end.
Deciding to come to Grace Prep, while it may not have been the easiest, was the best decision I ever made and there’s no place on earth that I’ve been that could ever compare to this school. If there’s one thing I’m sure about, it’s that Grace Prep is my home away from home, and I’m savoring every moment.
