Grace Baptist Academy - Grace Baptist Church of Marrero, Louisiana

Grace Baptist Academy was founded in 1982 to give the members of Grace Baptist Church a place where their children could receive a Christian education. Our goal is to provide a learning center that encourages advancement in education while lifting up Christ. Students are expected to keep their conversations and actions honoring to the Lord.

The goal we have for every student is to learn character, integrity, and vital values as well as English, math, and other subjects. We work along side of the family and the church to help train our students spiritually, mentally and physically. We use the A Beka curriculum, which is Bible-based and strong in academics. We have P.E. class to help students exercise and learn how to push themselves physically and deal with adversity and even loss. We start the day with Bible class and have chapel once a week. Speakers in chapel include male staff members, Pastor Shannon, area pastors, and other Godly men.

The staff and faculty of Grace Baptist Academy are all active members of our church and are good Christian examples of what we want our young people to be. Our goal is to help parents lead their children “in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” We want to help parents instill in their children the moral standards they need to be a Christian after they leave our school. Our junior high and high school students are required to go to church twice a week and are encouraged to be involved in church ministries.
