See why families consider us one of the best private schools in White Bear Lake.

  • Ella L. (student)

    When COVID began, lots of things were HARD. But God showed my family to a small Christian school where LOVE RULES! I was nervous to go to a new place, but when I met my teacher, she was very kind. I felt comfortable and safe. Kids and grown-ups were joyful! [Community of Grace Christian School] has helped me keep going and do my best even during hard times. My teachers pray for me and I have good friends. I LOVE [Community of Grace Christian School]!

  • Kara L. (parent)

    What we felt at our visit was much more than confidence in the promise of a high- quality education, we felt welcomed, peace, LOVE. Upon leaving, our daughter simply stated: “I think I’d like to go to school here.” Our hearts agreed and so our journey began.

  • Gabe H. (student)

    I love this school because in the short time I’ve been here, I've formed great relationships, from my friends, to my teachers, even my bus driver.

  • Zach and Jenny B. (parents)

    [Community of Grace Christian School] has helped us to establish strong roots in Christ with our children. The school's values match our family values, and that has made these impressionable years with our children much easier as parents. The teachers and staff are fantastic, have great wisdom and genuinely love and care for our children.

  • Andrea H. (parent)

    [Community of Grace Christian School] has had a profound impact on our children’s lives and we are forever grateful!

  • Hannah L. (former student)

    There are not enough words to express my love and gratitute toward [Community of Grace Christian School]... Being a student [there] truly made me who I am today. My relationship with God got so much stronger and has stuck with me ever since.

  • Nicole N. (parent)

    [Community of Grace Christian School] has become an extension of our family, where smiles and hugs are shared, and our children feel cherished and known. While most kids can’t wait for summer, ours are disappointed when the last day of school arrives! We are so comforted to send them off each day, knowing they will not only be educated, but safe, loved, and pointed toward Jesus.

  • Jen F. (parent)

    The staff pours their love and faith into our daughter, giving her so much confidence in her everyday life. Their small class sizes provide the individual attention and family-like setting that encourages our daughter to grow in God’s love.

  • Heidi B. (parent)

    We know our daughter is in great hands where she is, and she comes home every day happy and with a smile. She has always had a strong love for Christ, but her relationship with Jesus has grown so much. All she wants to do is help others and spread God’s love.
