Spaces Open for the 2026-2027 School Year

Grace Episcopal School

A few spaces remain for the 2026–27 school year at Grace Episcopal School. Now is a wonderful time to begin your journey with us. At Grace, we are small by design, creating a close-knit community where each child is truly known, valued, and supported. We serve students from preschool (ages 3) through 5th grade, providing a warm, consistent environment where children can grow with confidence over time. We believe in honoring the gift of childhood—nurturing curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning through joyful, hands-on experiences that meet students where they are developmentally. Our program is thoughtfully designed to balance strong academics with social-emotional growth, fostering confidence, kindness, and a lifelong enthusiasm for discovery. Interested families are invited to learn more by submitting an inquiry through our website or reaching out directly to our admissions team at admissions@graceschoolalex.org. We look forward to welcoming you into the Grace community.
