HIGH SCHOOL
As students enter their final years of secondary school, they are given a learning environment that allows them to flourish as they prepare for the next stage in their educational journey. High school provides opportunities in which every student is known, celebrated, and encouraged to discover and develop their innate, God-given gifts in an environment that teaches Christ-centred values.
Grace Christian is a provincially certified private school following the curriculum directives of the P.E.I. Ministry of Education while presenting course content from a Biblical worldview.

As a school that embraces the 21st-century mantras of critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity, GCS provides all the tools and technologies to support hands-on, experiential, and project-based learning as it develops the leaders, thinkers, and innovators of tomorrow.
AP CAPSTONE DIPLOMA
What is AP?
The Advanced Placement Program has enabled millions of students to take university/college-level courses and earn university/college credit, advanced placement, or both, while still in high school.
The AP Capstone Program
AP Capstone is an innovative diploma program from the College Board that equips students with the independent research, collaborative teamwork, and communication skills that are increasingly valued by universities/colleges.
AP Capstone is built on the foundation of two AP courses – AP Seminar and AP Research – and is designed to complement and enhance the in-depth, discipline-specific study experienced in other AP courses.
IT’S WORTH YOUR INVESTMENT!
Every student will spend over 16,000 hours in school, and will be influenced by peers, teachers, and curriculum. It is never too early, or too late, to consider investing in your child’s future and giving them the advantage of growing as Jesus did, in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. (Luke 2:52)
