Grand Rapids Christian High School is one of West Michigan’s top-performing high schools. Named an “Exemplary Secondary School” by the U.S. Department of Education, it’s recognized for:
* Its extraordinary culture of faith
* The breadth and excellence of its academics
* The quality and diversity of its fine arts
* Its wide range of athletic activities
GRCHS encourages learning that builds on students’ gifts and talents. The DeVos Center for Arts and Worship offers hands-on experience in fine arts, both on stage and behind the scenes. We also offer many advanced placement classes to prepare students for college.
We expect students to demonstrate knowledge of our Christian perspective as they are challenged to make decisions, raise questions, and examine real-life problems through the curriculum.
We also expect students to be active participants in their learning, giving their best efforts toward using their God-given potential.
The 960-plus students at GRCHS meet rigorous academic standards:
* 97% of the Class of 2009 will attend colleges and universities in the fall (Class of 2010 stats not yet available)
* 90% met or surpassed the state standards in math, reading, science, and writing as measured by the Michigan Merit Exam in 2009
* The Class of 2009 (last results available) average ACT composite score was 24.1, compared to the state average of 19.6
* The school had the largest number of National Merit Scholar finalists of any high school in West Michigan in 2007 and in 2009
