On May 1, 2025, Grace Academy will host its signature fundraising event, The Power of Grace. The two-hour cocktail party will feature student performances, silent and live auctions, and an inspiring alumna speaker. Don’t miss this opportunity for a fun night out while supporting bright futures at Grace Academy.
​
Grace Academy is an independent, interfaith, tuition-free middle school where girls reach their fullest potential through equitable access to a nurturing learning environment. We cultivate confident learners who aspire to make meaningful contributions to their community, supporting them through high school, college, and beyond.
​
Funds raised through the Power of Grace allow us to prepare, enroll, and support students throughout their educational journeys from middle school to top high schools like: Miss Porter’s, Loomis Chaffee, Kingswood Oxford, Glastonbury AgriScience, and Northwest Catholic, and onto colleges such as: UConn, Providence College, University of Hartford, and Howard—your support helps open doors of opportunity through education.​​
