History The school formally opened as Grace Christian High School on July 5, 1950 at Nagtahan Street in San Miguel, Manila, by a Chinese educator Julia L. Tan and American Baptist missionaries Edwin and Helen Spahr. In 1966, the school moved to its present location in the newly developed Grace Village, Quezon City, to accommodate an increasing student population while donating the Nagtahan campus to Grace Bible Church for its Christian Academy of Manila. Inauguration for the new campus was held on September 10, 1966. Two years after, the school bought more properties inside Grace Village for further expansion.
