The Power of Grace

On May 7, 2026, Grace Academy will host its signature fundraising event, The Power of Grace. The two-hour cocktail party will feature student performances, and silent and live auctions. 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.​​

Thank you to our 2026 Power of Grace sponsors!
