FAQ's

What are the school's hours?

8:30 AM - 3:00 PM

​

Is before or after-care available?

For the 2026-27 school year, we are planning to allow students to be dropped off as early 7:45 AM and possibly a little earlier. Afterschool care will be offered to end at 5:15 PM.  More details will be released soon.

​

Is there a bus service?

No. We will help GCS families connect to possibly provide for transportation. 

​

What about food services? 

Students will be required to bring a lunch and morning snack every day.  Pizza can be ordered on Fridays! Also sodas and snacks will be available for purchase on Fridays.

​

Do the students wear uniforms?

Yes, girls and guys will wear polo shirts with the GCS logo. Information regarding colors and vendors for school shirts are on the Parent page. Iron-on patches are on sale in the office. Pants and shorts in specific colors can be purchased anywhere.  A full explanation of the dress code can be found in our Student Handbook here.

​

Does Grace Christian School have the same holidays and days off as the public schools?

Yes! GCS has essentially the same calendar as the Citrus County public school system.

​

Is there a sports program?

We are looking forward to building a sports program as our enrollment grows. However, Florida state law allows homeschoolers and any private school student that attends a small school with no sports program to participate in their locally zoned public school's sports teams. We hope to have both middle school soccer and basketball teams for the 2026-27 school year. First Baptist of Inverness hosts Upward Soccer, beginning every January. 

​

Will my Florida state scholarship (FTC, FES-EO, FES-UA) cover everything?

Almost! We expect that only about $300 per student in fees will not be covered from our books and tuition. Students will purchase their own uniforms.
