Our Story

Four decades of forming minds and character.

Founded in 1985 on a hillside campus, Grace Advent began with twelve students and a single conviction: that rigorous learning and moral formation belong together. Today we are a community of over a thousand, yet that founding conviction still shapes every classroom, every corridor, every conversation.

Our mission is to graduate young people who think deeply, act with integrity, and serve generously — scholars and citizens ready for the world that awaits them.
