Grace Academy is a private Christian university-model school located in Stallings, North Carolina. The format of the school is different from traditional schools. At Grace Academy, students choose up to 5 classes a day, and take those classes on Mondays and Wednesdays. Students can also choose a different set of up to 5 classes which they will attend Tuesdays and Thursdays, so all together one student can take anywhere from 1 to 10 courses. There is no school on Fridays. School days at Grace Academy last 5 hours and 45 minutes, from 8:25 to 2:00. This is so students who are taking classes at home may have plenty of time to do so. Grace Academy students only attend the school 120 days in a year, which is a drastic change from a traditional private or public school.

Curriculum

The curriculum taught at Grace Academy is from a Biblical worldview, considering the Christian Bible infallible. In science courses, for example, Young Earth creationism is taught in lieu of the evolution-based model adhered to by public schools. Grace Academy is a university-model school.

-Grace Academy is a [[Christian]] University-Model School located in the [[Baptist|First Baptist Church]] in [[Matthews, North Carolina]]. The school started back in 2002 and has grown from about 50 students to over 450 students stretching from Kindergarten-12th grade. Often described as a "[[homeschooling|home-school]] school", this is partly the truth because the majority of students take a few classes at Grace and take a few other classes at home or at other schools, such as [[Central Peidmont Community College]].{{Fact|date=February 2007}} The format of the school is different from traditional schools, at Grace Academy students choose up to 4 classes a day, and take those classes on Mondays and Wednesdays. Students can also choose a different set of up to 4 classes which they will attend Tuesdays and Thursdays. So all together one student can take anywhere from 1 to 8 courses. There is no school on Fridays. Another big difference in Grace Academy is that the school day lasts only about 4 hours, from 8:15 to 12:15. This is so students who are taking classes at home may have plenty of time to do so. Grace Academy students only attend the school 120 days in a year, which is another big change from a traditional private or public school.
