| The purpose of Grace Academy Athletics is to develop well-rounded students who recognize the value of glorifying God not just with their minds, but also with their bodies. The goal is to advance our students from the grammar stage of physical development to the logic and rhetoric stages. The grammar of athletics consists of physical education for all students to enable them to learn the basics of exercise and various sports. The logic and rhetoric stages are designed to progress students into competitive athletics, should they demonstrate interest and ability. Our focus is on developing Christ-like character, teamwork (for team sports), sportsmanship, and wholesome competition. Grace Academy is a member of the Austin Christian Athletic Association for grades 5th through 8th, and the Texas Christian Athletic League for varsity sports. Member schools of the ACAA include:
Austin Royals
