About Us

Grace Christian Schools of Pasco is an outreach and discipleship ministry of Grace Bible Church. It supports the families of our community in three ways, by providing an academic education that meets the individual needs of students, by developing good character in students through teaching God’s Word, and by helping students build a Christian view of the world. MISSION STATEMENT We believe that every child is a precious gift from God. We believe each child is unique and special. They differ in the degree of their spiritual, mental, emotional, physical and social maturity. They develop at their own rate in each of these areas and have individual learning styles with strengths and limitations. We believe it is our mission to provide a high quality, Christ centered educational program that includes both basic skills and thinking skills. We believe it is our responsibility to provide instruction that will promote success for each child. Our goal is that upon completion of the prescribed course of study each child will be prepared academically to take his/her place in society and will have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that will give direction throughout life. In short, our mission is to evangelize, educate. equip and edify. AFFILIATION AND MEMBERSHIP In 1979 Grace Christian Schools of Pasco was formed as a ministry of Grace Bible Church. Grace Christian Schools of Pasco is Foundationally Accredited by the Association of Christian Schools, International (ACSI).
