Our Art room has been updated! A huge thank you to Grant Reformed Church and Christy Hutchinson (our Art teacher) and family for the donations and all the work that was put forth. It looks great!
Our 7th/8th graders are buddies with our kindergartners, they get to "hang out" twice a month. Today, they worked on a project together, the white cross represents how Jesus washed our sins away. Our kindergartners love it when their buddies come to their classroom.
We are hiring! 🎉🎉
As we begin to prepare for the 2023-2024 school year, we are looking for a part-time 2nd grade teacher! Next year we will have the 1st and 2nd graders taught separately in the morning for reading and math, and combined again in the afternoon for all other subjects. We are excited at this need for our rising numbers! We are grateful to keep our class sizes small for a more individualized education and grow our school at the same time! God is continuing to bless GCS!
If you or someone you know is interested in this position, please contact our Principal, David Vander Zanden, at 231-834-8445 or dvanderzanden@grantchristianschool.org
**A valid teaching certificate is required.

The man, the myth, the legend of GCS...Mr. D!
Mr. D comes to GCS every week to pour into the lives of our students. His main goal is to leave a legacy of faith and service here at GCS. Some of the amazing things that Mr. D does each week are:
-Leads a Middle School literature circle once a week.
-Writes 2 cards each week to encourage students.
-Listens to the band and encourages students.
-Surprises kids with smarties.
-Joins us for Chapel every Wednesday.
-Helps teachers with odds and ends.
If this sounds like something you would prayerfully consider in the future, Bruce would love to chat!
Wild West Wednesday at GCS!
This morning for Chapel, Pastor Wayne from Fremont United Methodist Church talked about the sacrifices that Christ made and the sacrifices that we can make heading into Easter. After Chapel, Pastor Wayne spoke to our middle schoolers, "Don't try to fit in to this world, stand out for Jesus!"
