Great Grace International School
School Background:
In 1991, 70 missionaries from Grace Church come to Hungary to bring the Gospel to the Hungarians. Greater Grace Christian Academy was established for the purpose of educating the children of the more than 60 international missionaries in Hungary. In 1992, GGCA advertises to the rapidly expanding international community in Budapest. 15 missionary kids and 30 international and Hungarian students were enrolled. In 1993, moving from five classrooms rented in a Hungarian school, the school sees a breakthrough in the growth with the signing of a long-term rental contract for a school facility on Matyas Kiraly out in the 12th district. The Ministry of Education officially recognizes the school as an American international school. Enrollment triples to 195 students by 1996. The initial mission of educating missionary children has expanded, as our student body includes children of Hungarian and expatriate diplomats, businessmen and educators. By 2004, Greater Grace Christian Academy becomes Greater Grace International School as the school is established in the marker of international schools in Budapest. In 2005, GGIS moves to the current location in the leafy surrounds of Budagyongye. In 2016, In April 2016, GGIS received full, unconditional accreditation from the Association of Christian Schools International and Middle States Accreditation. GGIS has reached the status of one of Budapest’s premier learning institutions. Now, Great Grace International School is a member school of the Network of International Christian Schools.
