Guangzhou Grace Academy began in the fall of 1994. It
was the desire of Brian & Maria Hutt to establish a school that would
provide the best education possible for their own children as well as
for other children. They found the Accelerated Christian Education
learning system ideally suited for their purposes. With over 30 years of
experience in Christian education, the worldwide Accelerated Christian
Education has a proven track record in providing excellent educational
materials and curriculum.
The Accelerated Christian Education educational concept
is built on the following principles: l Students must be at individual levels where they can perform. l The student is responsible for setting reasonable daily goals. l Students must be controlled and motivated. l Learning must be measurable. l Learning must be rewarded.
Working from these principles, this curriculum assures
parents of: l A solid education for their children. l A course of study individualized to meet a student's specific needs
and learning capabilities. l A program incorporating character-building and wisdom principles. l A curriculum which incorporates the computer to enhance learning. l A stimulating afternoon schedule which includes Art, Music, Drama,

Philosophy of Education
“Education is life! It is the communication of life from
the living to the living, moving from one generation to the next.” So
states Dr. Donald Howard, well-known American educator and founder of
Accelerated Christian Education .
What is life? Two thousand years ago Jesus said, “I have
come that you might have life and have it abundantly.” As Christians, we
believe that by following Jesus Christ we can truly have what He called
abundant life and impart the same to our children, the next generation.
The Bible is the book of life. In Deuteronomy 6: 5-7
Moses was inspired by God to write: “Love the Lord your God with all
your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These
commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress
them on your children.”
Parents have a God-given responsibility to train their
children to live as Jesus lived, in obedience to God. Other than our
personal accountability to God and commitment to our spouse, we, as
parents, have no greater responsibility on earth.
The school is an extension of the home. It exists to
work with parents and aid them in the awesome responsibility of
providing the best environment possible for their children. Our school
staff works closely with parents to train the whole child.
The Uniqueness of the Individual
Every child is a unique creation of God, created by God
for a specific purpose. We therefore individualize the total program in
order to meet each child’s special needs, seeking to enrich him
physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Individualized,
self-instructional techniques are used throughout the academic program
to encourage each child to take responsibility for his learning and to
teach him how to learn.
For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come
knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 2: 6
This introduction to Guangzhou Grace Academy is just a taste of what the
school is all about. Come visit us and see for yourself a school with a
refreshing outlook on education. A school where children don't just get
by but get ahead! The Accelerated Christian Education program also
encourages parental involvement. It stresses the uniqueness of the
individual and teaches critical thinking skills. It is truly a
back-to-God back-to-parents back-to-the-individual program.
