WHO WE ARE

OUR PHILOSOPHY
A Vision For the City

THE CITY IS A PLACE FOR CREATIVITY.
Creativity is essential for the growth of the human spirit because it is the way in which the unique gifts of each individual are expressed.

THE CITY IS A PLACE FOR CHOICE.
Choice is the avenue by which individuals are empowered to explore and develop their unique gifts.

THE CITY IS A PLACE FOR COLLABORATION.
Collaboration is how we discover that we need each other's gifts and perspectives in order to meet the changing demands of urban life.

THE CITY IS A PLACE FOR COMMUNITY.
Community develops when we realize that the true "riches of a city" are the diverse gifts of all its citizens joined together for the common good.

"Our vision for the city currently focuses on four areas of urban life: the arts, education, health care and urban livability. Grace Institute gives a special emphasis to the needs of children in whose hands rest the future of our cities."
