Admissions

Grace Leadership Academy (GLA) is committed to building leaders. Our vision is to educate students to become spirit-filled Christian leaders who excel in academics, embrace a biblical worldview, embody the founding principles of our nation, and engage in cultural reformation.

We are currently enrolling kindergarten through tenth grade. Students entering kindergarten should be five years old by September 1st of the current enrollment year. Upon completion of the Admissions process below, prospective students will receive a letter of acceptance for the coming academic school year.

New student enrollment is now open for the 2025-2026 school year. Completing an application does not guarantee a seat. All applications go through a review process and will be based on open seats available.  Once the Application process is completed, the students will be enrolled for the Academic Year based on availability.  We anticipate that many grades will reach full capacity during our early Enrollment season.

Student/Parent Handbook

At Grace Leadership Academy, our Student/Parent Handbooks for both Elementary and Middle/High School are designed to clearly communicate the expectations, values, and culture that define life at GLA. Rooted in our core values of Honor, Humility, Hunger, Holiness, and Health, these handbooks serve as vital resources to help families partner with us in cultivating Christ-centered leaders. They provide guidance on academic standards, dress code, discipline policies, spiritual formation, and the rhythms of daily school life, ensuring unity, clarity, and purpose across every grade level. As a presence-driven school, we believe that strong communication and shared values between home and campus are essential to raising students who live with excellence, integrity, and impact.
