Preparing to open · No payment required to enquire
A little practice.
A new possibility.
The Grace’s experience
The everyday matters. So does the extraordinary.
A steady place around the school day. An open door into the arts. Two programs with one shared purpose: making room for people to grow.
- Care around the school day
- Planned before-school and after-school care, with time for homework, food, and friends.
- Time to make something
- Creative practice is part of the plan, with room to explore ideas and return to a skill.
- Arts beyond after-school
- A separate enrichment program welcomes children, teens, and adults into creative learning.
- A local family team
- Based in Waldorf, with a team you can meet and a place you can visit before deciding.
Why here
Practice is better when it’s going somewhere.
Grace’s Community Arts shares a building with Grace’s Event Center. That means a real stage on the other side of the wall — so a term of classes can build toward something an audience actually sees.
- A hall that seats 430
- The same stage the venue runs events on, in the building where classes are planned to meet.
- Real sound and lighting
- Students are planned to rehearse and perform with the venue’s own production equipment.
- A working kitchen
- Culinary classes are planned for Grace’s Event Center’s commercial kitchen rather than a classroom worktop.
Showcase dates are confirmed with families each term.
