Grace Christian College (GCC) ( simplified Chinese: 菲律滨基督教灵惠学院; traditional Chinese: 菲律濱基督教靈惠學院; pinyin: Fēilǜbīn Jīdūjiào Línghuì Xuéyuàn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Hui-li̍p-pin Ki-tok-kàu Lêng-hūi Ha̍k-īⁿ), formerly known as Grace Christian High School (GCHS), is an evangelical Protestant school that caters primarily to Chinese Filipino students and provides education from Pre-Nursery to College. It is situated in Grace Village, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. Its current president is Dr. Christine Joy Tan, succeeding Dr. James L. Tan in May 2020. [1]
The school formally opened as Grace Christian High School on July 5, 1950 [2] [3] at Nagtahan Street in San Miguel, Manila, by a Chinese educator Mrs. Julia L. Tan and American Baptist missionaries Dr. and Mrs. Edwin G. Spahr. In 1966, the school moved to its present location in the newly developed Grace Village, Quezon City, to accommodate an increasing student population while donating the Nagtahan campus to Grace Bible Church for its Christian Academy of Manila. Inauguration for the new campus was held on September 10, 1966. Two years after, the school bought more properties inside Grace Village for further expansion.
The school uses the A BEKA Curriculum in English, Science and Bible. [4]

All of the clubs and organizations listed were inactive/disbanded during the COVID-19 pandemic; however, starting School Year 2023-2024, with the school allowing face-to-face classes, the clubs will be active again.

The Chinese curriculum consists of eight subjects – Chinese Language (華語), Chinese Phonetics (國音), Chinese Composition (作文), Chinese Conversation (會話), Chinese Literature (閱讀), Chinese Computer (電腦)(for highschool), Chinese Writing (寫子), Chinese Culture (綜合) (for Kinder), and Chinese Mathematics (數學) (for kinder).
