   LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR
   SECTION 16 REPORTING OBLIGATIONS
   Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby makes, constitutes
and appoints Christopher C. Richardson, Daniel Bachus and Lyn Bickle, and each
of them, as the undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact (the "Attorney-in
Fact"), with full power of substitution and resubstitution, each with the power
to act alone for the undersigned and in the undersigned's name, place and stead,
in any and all capacities to:
   (1) prepare, execute and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
any national securities exchange or securities quotation system and Grand Canyon
Education, Inc. (the "Company") any and all reports (including any amendment
thereto) of the undersigned required or considered advisable under Section 16(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the
rules and regulations thereunder, with respect to the equity securities of the
Company, including Forms 3, 4 and 5; and
   (2) obtain, as the undersigned's representative and on the undersigned's
behalf, information regarding transactions in the Company's equity securities
from any third party, including the Company and any brokers, dealers, employee
benefit plan administrators and trustees, and the undersigned hereby authorizes
any such third party to release any such information to the Attorney-in Fact.
   The undersigned acknowledges that:
   (1) this Limited Power of Attorney authorizes, but does not require, the
Attorney-in-Fact to act at his or her discretion on information provided to such
Attorney-in-Fact without independent verification of such information;
   (2) any documents prepared or executed by the Attorney-in-Fact on behalf of
the undersigned pursuant to this Limited Power of Attorney will be in such form
and will contain such information as the Attorney-in-Fact, in his or her
discretion, deems necessary or desirable;
   (3) neither the Company nor the Attorney-in-Fact assumes any liability for
the undersigned's responsibility to comply with the requirement of Section 16 of
the Exchange Act, any liability of the undersigned for any failure to comply
with such requirements, or any liability of the undersigned for disgorgement of
profits under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act; and
   (4) this Limited Power of Attorney does not relieve the undersigned from
responsibility for compliance with the undersigned's obligations under Section
16 of the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, the reporting
requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
   The undersigned hereby grants to the Attorney-in-Fact full power and
authority to do and perform each and every act and thing requisite, necessary or
convenient to be done in connection with the foregoing, as fully, to all intents
and purposes, as the undersigned might or could do in person, hereby ratifying
and confirming all that the Attorney-in-Fact, or his or her substitute or
substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Limited
Power of Attorney. This Limited Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and
effect until the undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 4 or 5 with
respect to the undersigned's transactions in equity securities of the Company,
unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
Attorney-in-Fact.
   IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed as of this 10th day of September, 2009.
Signature:  /s/ Joseph N. Mildenhall
Printed Name:  Joseph N. Mildenhall
