I'm Brad Maccabee and the principal at Grand Rapids Christian High School.

00:00:06.680 --> 00:00:09.220
Each fall we welcome over 800 students.

00:00:10.100 --> 00:00:15.260
We welcome a freshman class that comes from roughly 30 different middle schools

00:00:15.260 --> 00:00:21.460
so we're an incredibly diverse school that mirrors the makeup of the Grand Rapids community.

00:00:23.740 --> 00:00:30.660
We are a unique place where students of many different backgrounds come together for Christian education.

00:00:32.120 --> 00:00:36.860
Our faith in Jesus Christ is infused in everything that we do here at Grand Rapids Christian.

00:00:36.860 --> 00:00:41.560
It's not only infused in what we teach but why we teach.

00:00:44.360 --> 00:00:50.460
We are a place that views each
learner as unique.

00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:52.640
We recognize that no two students need the same things,

00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.620
and we work tirelessly to make sure that each student's

00:00:56.620 --> 00:01:00.360
gifts passions are discovered
and affirmed.

00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:10.080
The reason we offer so many unique
programs is that we want students to be involved.

00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:15.400
We want students have opportunities to discover new passions and talents and gifts

00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.620
and we believe that we're a healthier community when students are involved.

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.140
The mission of the Grand Christian Schools is to prepare students

00:01:25.140 --> 00:01:28.360
to be effective servants of
Christ in contemporary society.

00:01:28.360 --> 00:01:32.740
The contemporary society piece of our
mission holds us accountable to

00:01:32.740 --> 00:01:37.390
constantly evaluate a changing world and
to prepare students for life after high school.
