​

Hello, we are James and Renee Diver, and we have been an active part of the Grand Lake Community for almost 20 years. To be clear, we never thought we would be building a school. However, as parents to daughters Alice, Lyla, and Evelyn, quality education is at the forefront of our minds. When public schools closed their doors in March 2020, we saw the negative impact it had on working parents. As successful entrepreneurs, we were fortunate that Renee could stay home with our daughters. However, we quickly learned just how hard it is to teach, and that great teachers are essential to the growth and development of all students.

 

Enter Grand Christian Prep. This 3-year-old through 8th-grade private Christian school is the product of much prayer and many people entering into our lives in what can only be described as God's perfect timing. Together, with our GCP teachers and staff, we have created something remarkable. GCP is a school where kids are encouraged to be kids. A place where achievement is less about test scores and more about interpersonal communication, pursuing kindness, developing critical thinking skills, and achieving personal growth. A focus on Faith, Family, and Freedom has sparked an environment where students and families alike are thriving, and honestly, there is nowhere else we'd rather be.

​

We want to thank the parents, students, staff, and friends who have walked in faith with GCP from the beginning.    Your belief in the vision is what kept us pushing. We look forward to rounding out our middle school with the addition of 7th & 8th grades in 2024-2025. As Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it." We believe this to our core and will continue to hire only the best, certified teachers and support staff for Grand Christian Prep.

 

Thank you for trusting us with your most precious gift, your children.

​Blessings & Sincere Gratitude,

James & Renee Diver, Founders, Grand Christian Prep
