Who We Are
Welcome to Trace Academy where parents, teachers and students are
on a mission to explore God’s world and discover their place in it!
Trace Academy is a Christ-centered K-8 school in which each family serves in a specific role with the goal of teaching, shepherding and supporting our students. We believe that God created each child and the family unit and want to partner with families in the education of the next generation. Trace Academy enjoys a dynamic culture that includes small class sizes, academic rigor, a Biblical worldview, and a commitment to know and serve one another.
A Message from our Head of School
What it’s like at Trace Academy…
Parent Perspectives
Involved & Engaged
“As a Trace father, I really appreciate the opportunity to be a part of over 10 field trips a year and special father events with my daughters to start and end the school year. I love being a part of their learning experience and getting to know their friends and friends' parents. The school has been open and flexible to new ideas such as us starting a dad's cookout and a school-wide charity event. I value that I get to be a part of what my kids are learning and talking about from an educational and spiritual standpoint.” – A.C., Dad
Academic Excellence
“From tried and true Saxon math, Abeka phonics and readers, Institute for Excellence in Writing and grammar, Apologia science, and our beloved integral thematic units handwritten for our school by the Center for Redemptive Education, it is with confidence I believe that my children are being challenged with academic excellence at Trace Academy. A redemptive Biblical worldview is woven throughout by passionately invested teachers. I also love the way our early release and parent involvement with homework helps give me insight into how my children are mastering or struggling in certain subject areas, and I appreciate being able to come alongside these teachers to help my children thrive.” – H.R., Mom
Faith & Family
Being a parent at Trace is one of my greatest joys. I love having the opportunity to be a part of my children’s education, from chaperoning field trips, reinforcing and grading material at home and memorizing weekly scripture verses with them. I also love knowing my kids are seeing Jesus in their teachers and are being corrected and encouraged with God’s truth. – J.S., Mom
“It is a given that our family is called to live out our faith in the public square. It is not a given that the school will be a place that nurtures that faith. I am so thankful as a parent to have other mature believers and their children invest so much in my family's health and maturity.” – M.H., Dad
