Faith and Spiritual Formation
Loving God. Loving Others.
Learning with Purpose.
At Grace Montessori Academy, faith is not a subject — it’s the heart of everything we do.
Our guiding principle, inspired by the words of Jesus in Mark 12:29–31, shapes our classrooms, our curriculum, and our community:
“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’
The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
There is no commandment greater than these.”
— Mark 12:30–31
We seek to cultivate a school environment where children not only grow in knowledge, but also in wisdom, compassion, and the joy of knowing God personally.
What We Believe
We are a Christian school guided by a shared foundation of biblical truth. The following beliefs are taught consistently and clearly across all grade levels:
The Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God, revealing His character and His plan for humanity through Jesus Christ.
There is one sovereign God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ is the living Son of God. He is present in our lives and classrooms, and we look to Him as the model for how we live, love, and learn.
Salvation is a gift of God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ — not earned, but freely given.
Faith enhances learning. True wisdom and knowledge begin with God, and our academic program reflects this Christ-centered worldview.
Biblical truth and values are the foundation for the spiritual, intellectual, and moral development of every student.

Faith is woven into every part of the day — through Bible stories, prayer, scripture memory, and the way we treat one another.

We emphasize grace, courtesy, and natural consequences. Children are guided to resolve conflicts peacefully and build empathy and responsibility.
