About Grace Academy
Grace Academy, a classical Christian school in Georgetown, Texas, is seeking a highly organized, creative, and collaborative Advancement & Communications Assistant to join our team.
This position works closely with the Director of Advancement to support the communications, admissions, development, and community-building efforts of Grace Academy. The ideal candidate is someone who genuinely enjoys making things happen—someone who notices the details, communicates well, takes initiative, and thrives as part of a team.
Because this role touches nearly every part of school life, a love for the mission and community of Grace Academy is essential. A current or former Grace parent, alum, or someone with an existing connection to the Grace community would be especially well suited for the role.

Communications & Marketing
- Create attractive, on-brand graphics and marketing materials for school events, fundraising initiatives, admissions events, and other school programs.
- Manage Grace Academy's social media presence, primarily Facebook and Instagram, including photography, writing, content creation, and scheduling.
- Write and edit engaging content for newsletters, admissions communications, donor relations, and other school publications.
- Prepare and design Grace Academy's weekly school newsletter, coordinating announcements, important dates, calendar information, and school news through Finalsite.
- Help maintain consistency and accuracy across school communications.
