Grace Application Dates & Deadlines
Last year, Grace set our school wide intention of belonging, using the phrase, “Grace belongs to you,” to express our commitment to all who come to us to learn, teach, parent, share, and live as a member of our school community and beyond. As we begin the 2022-2023 school year, Grace's new intention centers around wonder, as is featured in the front windows of the building with the phrase "Grace is WONDERing." We hope this intention deepens our exploration together, extends our curiosity, and helps us connect with each other and something greater than ourselves.
We invite you to attend one or more of our admissions events and wonder with us in the coming weeks and months to help us get to know you and for you to get to know more about the ways in which Grace continues build a sense of wonder, belonging, and purpose in our small, joyful, and inclusive school community.
Events will be held both virtually and in-person, to provide the opportunity for you and your family to get to know Grace in the way that works best. See below for details about how to sign up for these events.
