72 million children of primary-school age around the world are not in school, 57% of whom are girls. For every year of education a child receives, their future earnings increase, they wait longer to have children, they make better health decisions, and their ability to make meaningful choices about their future grows. 

Grace Private School (Ecole Privée La Grâce)

Grace Private School currently has classes for Kindergarden - 9th grades, with an enrollment in the Fall of 2017 of 283 students. Beginning in 2014 for the first time students had their own textbooks. Even government schools do not have this luxury. Teachers and students alike were excited about this provision from Grace Missions. Grace Private School has well trained teachers and is committed to providing the best education in town.

School Founder, Ibrahima Kodio

Ibrahima Kodio has a deep love for God, which overflows into a desire to share the Gospel with his fellow Malians. His desire to begin a Christian school naturally formed out of his love for the city of Koro and his desire to see a decrease in poverty, as well as for his girls to have a quality, Bible based education. Ibrahima's beautiful and intelligent wife, Rachel, is instrumental in helping run the day to day operations of Grace Private School.

Building Project

The Grace Private School building project has been an exciting vision which God is making real. The location where the school rented facilities since its foundation was not an ideal setting for a learning environment and the landlord, who is not a Christian, was not always cooperative. Purchasing our own land and building our own school paved the way for a much smoother educational environment for everyone from the headmaster to the students. The 3 floors of the new building have been completed and students are currently using these classrooms for the 2017-18 academic year. The city and students watched the construction and completion of the first phase of our building project, which created an atmosphere of excitement and expectancy throughout the community. Next will be to begin construction on a high school on nearby land which we are negotiating to purchase in 2018. Please pray with us as we grow!!
