Voices of Grace

“The School of Education at Grace College did a great job at making the concept of teaching with service, love, and grace at the center… Grace offered some really meaningful classes that not only gave students the practical tools they needed, but the ‘how’ and the ‘why’ such tools fulfill both educational and heart goals.”
