Reminders...

Parking Lot

A few reminders about our parking lot, drop-off and pick-up.

• The parking lot speed is 15 miles per hour !
• Morning drop-off: PLEASE pull ahead as far in the line as you can before dropping off students. You can pull up as far as the deck area to drop off. This will allow more than one car to drop off students at a time. It will greatly help with the congestion in the drive and on the street as well!
• Walking students in: If you walk your student(s) in to the school building, please park in the rows used for pick-up. The parking spaces closest to the building and church doors are for school and church staff parking. Please do not use this parking to drop off students or walk them in. Doing so will also avoid having cars back up into the line of traffic to get out during the morning rush. Thank you!
• Student parking: Students, please park along the fence or in the parking lot spaces closest to the street. Thank you!

Our School...

Grandview seeks to help its students grow in many areas of personal development. As students progress through the school's educational program, they are expected to grow spiritually, academically, socially, and physically. The first step of this important process is salvation, which brings the student into a right relationship with God. The Holy Spirit is then available to guide the student through the growth process.

Grandview welcomes qualified students for instruction. A student is admitted to the school upon the completion of either a satisfactory record in their previous schoolwork and/or an acceptable score on a standardized test of educational development. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race in the administration of its admission, education, financial assistance, or extracurricular policies.
For details see our enrollment page.
