Employment At Grace Academy

Serve With Us


Grace Academy is not just a great place to educate your child; it is a great place to work. Our faculty and staff are the reason we can provide the best academic and Christ-centered education. Together with our school families, they create a community that is safe, supportive, engaging and God-honoring. It is no exaggeration when people describe our school as "the Grace Family." All faculty and staff members must regularly attend an evangelical, Bible-believing church and be able to sign our Statement of Faith. 


Due to the volume of inquiries and resumes we receive, we are not always able to respond to every message. We will be in contact with you if we are interested in setting up an interview. Thank you for your understanding. If you are interested in serving at Grace, please send in an application that is provided below. Any open positions are posted below.
