Grandview Park Baptist Church commissions and supports the Grandview Park Baptist School as a ministry which assists Christian families with the education of their children. We believe that God has placed the responsibility of the child in the hands of the parents. Therefore, Grandview Park Baptist School functions as an education support ministry for Grandview Park Baptist Church families as well as for other families of like beliefs.

We believe that all real truth is of God, that Christ is the incarnate Word of Truth, that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, and that Scripture is the written Word of Truth. There is no distinction between sacred and secular truth that can be consistent with Scripture. We are committed to the integration of this viewpoint in every area of curriculum.

Grandview Park Baptist School seeks to help its students grow in many areas of personal development. As students move through the school's educational program, each one is 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.

The goal of the school is to assist Grandview Park Baptist Church with its mission. The church is a family of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ whose greatest privilege and responsibility is to glorify God. We are committed to living in obedience to the Word of God and to fulfilling our Lord's command to make disciples, with a particular concentration in the greater Des Moines area. To accomplish this goal, the school will employ fill-time, born-again Christian teachers who are active members of Grandview Park Baptist Church, exemplify personal Christian living, and are appropriately trained for Christian school teaching. The administrators, teachers, and staff must exhibit love for their students and parents.

The school operates as a non-profit, Biblically-based educational ministry of the Grandview Park Baptist Church of Des Moines, Iowa. This is in accordance with the church's current constitution and by-laws. Grandview Park Baptist School is recognized by the Iowa Department of Education as a college preparatory school.

Grandview Park Baptist School 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.
