Lipol Grace Academy is a non stock corporation. It was created to cater the needs of every young indigenous Filipinos in the Province of Sarangani Davao del Sur. Purposes and aim of the school is to help educate the people. Balut Island has only two government school namely Alberto Olarte Sr. National High School and Jose De Arce National high School. It was in August 2011 when the church members headed by the church President Mr. Vicente Dalumpines decided to put up a school in Barangay Lipol for they find it difficult in going to Alberto Olarte Sr. National High  since you need to travel about an hour before you can reach AOSNHS. Another reason is that parents are very much in burdened with the financial obligations

In the year 2011, Mr. Jessemar Jaron Wao and Pastor Ted I. Plale worked out the papers for Lipol Grace Academy. The first move which is to have the Articles of Incorporation and other necessary documents were all had prepared and submitted  to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for approval. The experienced was challenging for so many things were new to him though. He travelled many times in Davao City for the papers to be complied and completed. 

After Securities and Exchange Commission's approval and releasing of documents, another challenge headed up, the Department of Education Permit and Recognition.  Almost 5 months of preparing the documents, at last DepEd officials decided to visit Lipol Grace Academy school site and inspected the place. During that time, the DepEd officials were skeptical about the travel for the weather was very critical. However, Mr. Wao was able to convince the two Dep Ed XI personnel Dr. Yambao and Dr. Hua.  After inspection, they issued Government Permit No 49 series of 2012 allowing Lipol Grace Academy to operate and accept enrollees for the school year 2012-2013. 

The school was named before Lipol Grace Gospel Church, since most of the members of the corporation are from Grace Gospel church so they decided to name it as Lipol Grace Academy Inc. The school is a non-stock corporation. It took many months of preparing the documents, and also the efforts (bayanihan) extended by the members in cleaning up the place and of the buildings as well as money to be financed.  With the help of the funds of the church and from the voluntary financial assistance of the president the school had its  two storey buildings which has five concrete classrooms and a library.
