 ACHIEVEMENTS
Students who satisfactorily fulfill
the curriculum requirements of the school have historically experienced no
difficulty transferring into any other school system. The Christian School
of Grace Baptist Church meets or exceeds all State of Pennsylvania
curriculum requirements for each grade level.
Students from The
Christian School of GBC participate in festivals and competitions with other
Christian schools. These competitions include Spelling Bees, art festivals,
music festivals and speech competitions.
MACSA and ACSI
offer yearly festivals for visual arts, music and speech. Numerous Grace
students have earned superior rankings for projects ranging from sculpture
to photography to watercolor painting.
 The school choir
has also earned Superior ratings many times with several top finishes.
Soloists in voice, piano, and instruments have represented the school well
earning several Superior ratings.
Public speaking
has always been a vital part of Christian education as we strive to train
leaders for the next generation. This emphasis has resulted in many of our
students earning speech awards in recitations, dramatic interpretations and
in interpretative reading.
The results from
the Iowa Test of Basic Skills Achievement Test given in the Spring show the
school's excellent standing when compared to other schools:
