Affordable Afterschool Care and Educational Opportunities for CNMI Families
Grace Christian Academy is pleased to participate in programs that help make quality education and afterschool care more accessible to families throughout the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Through the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF), eligible families may qualify for assistance with afterschool care services. In addition, educational grant opportunities may be available for qualifying students seeking full enrollment at Grace Christian Academy.
Our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and Christ-centered environment where students can grow academically, socially, and spiritually.

The program helps eligible working families access quality child care and supports educational and afterschool programs that promote student success. CCDF also encourages the development of high-quality learning environments for children and families.
