Grace Preparatory Academy

Grace Preparatory Academy in Arlington, Texas, is a private school that currently serves K-12th grade students from the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and its surrounding areas. Grace Preparatory Academy (“GPA”) is a unique private Christian school that utilizes a university-type schedule and a teacher-parent integrated instructional approach to produce a high level of academic achievement while enabling strong ties between parents and their children. The school was the first concrete expression of a new educational model called University-Model® Schooling (UMS) in which two proven elements of educational success, the professional classroom instruction of a teacher and the caring at-home mentoring of a parent, are combined into a single, unified, college-simulated program. Other proven elements of the school's program include character education, low student/teacher ratios, hands-on learning, a strong student work ethic, an effective college-preparatory curriculum, character-building student activities, and servant-minded local operation and management.
