Grace Academy is an exciting community initiative of Grace Lutheran College. It aims to promote the performing arts to students across North Brisbane and Moreton Bay through exciting music, dance and drama classes.

Grace Academy offers programs that encompass the traditional arts areas of dance, drama, media, music and visual art. It provides high quality arts experiences to our students and to the broader Moreton Bay regional community through tuition, ensembles, vacation programs and short courses.

Students from Grace Lutheran College are welcome to join Grace Academy and participate in their range of performing arts programs. Students can take part in co-curricular activities, such as dance troupes, school musicals and Concert Band, or curriculum subjects such as our Ignite Excellence: GAME ON Music Extension Program. Different dance, drama and music programs are available to students at our Rothwell and Caboolture campuses, and students may travel between the two campuses for certain programs and events. 

Students outside of the college can also join Grace Academy for after-school performing arts programs, including instrumental and dance classes. These are open to children of ANY age, starting from just 5 years old.

As part of our Partner Primary Schools Program, Grace Academy also offers a number of performing arts activities in the areas of music, dance and drama at Living Faith Lutheran Primary School (Murrumba Downs) and St Paul's Lutheran Primary School (Caboolture).

The Grace Academy staff are a passionate and energetic team of teachers and industry professionals who have a love for their art forms and take great joy in helping their students develop and share their gifts in an encouraging and protected environment.
