Where Faith and Academics Grow
An exceptional education that nurtures the whole child through top-tier academics and Christian character formation.
Grace Valley's highly qualified instructors work together with supportive parents to provide our students the best education.
Award-Winning Academic Excellence, Recognized by Our Community
Voted Best Private School in the 2026 Davis Enterprise Readers’ Choice, Best of Yolo County Contest. At GVCA we offer:
- Small class sizes for personalized learning
- Accelerated and challenging curriculum to prepare children for success
- A focus on Christian character development in every aspect of education
- A beautiful 25-acre campus in the Davis countryside
Small class sizes allow teachers to support and challenge each student. Classrooms are orderly and students are not distracted by smartphones or other unnecessary electronic devices. This environment helps our students focus on learning and encourages engagement in the classroom and friendships with peers.
As students advance through the grades, they develop confidence in public speaking, analytical writing, mathematical reasoning, and scientific inquiry.

Grace Valley’s accelerated high school saved me a lot of time and money while preparing me to excel in college coursework. I was able to graduate from UC Davis at age 18 with a degree in Plant Biology and then go straight to law school with a full scholarship.

I remember GVCA for the phenomenal teachers who made math and science exciting. Specifically geometry class, which reinforced just how fun solving challenging problems can be!

We chose GVCA because we were concerned about the literature at our local public junior high, which often contained inappropriate themes. At GVCA, the curriculum focuses on meaningful, high-quality literature grounded in Christian values.
