</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Balance Sheet and Cash Flow</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">As of September&nbsp;30, 2010, the Company had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities of $50.5&nbsp;million compared to $63.1&nbsp;million as of December&nbsp;31, 2009 and restricted cash,
cash equivalents and investments at September&nbsp;30, 2010 and December&nbsp;31, 2009 of $55.9&nbsp;million and
$3.2&nbsp;million, respectively.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company generated $80.5&nbsp;million in cash from operating activities in the nine months ended
September&nbsp;30, 2010 compared to $66.8&nbsp;million in the same period of 2009. Cash provided by
operating activities in the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2010 resulted from our net income plus
non cash charges for bad debts, depreciation and amortization and improvement in our working capital
management.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">A significant portion of our net revenue is derived from tuition financed by the Title IV
programs. Federal regulations dictate the timing of disbursements under the Title IV programs.
Under the BBAY financial aid system, loan funds are generally provided by the Federal Direct Loan
Program in two disbursements for each academic year. The disbursements are usually received two to
four weeks into the first course of a payment period. These factors, together with the timing of
students beginning their programs, affect our operating cash flow. In a term-based Title IV
environment, Title IV disbursements are generally based on three academic terms per year and
institutions operating on this basis are generally allowed to bring in up to 33% of a student&#146;s
academic year financial aid at the start of each term, with the majority of such amounts being
treated as unrestricted cash and deferred revenue (or a student deposit liability depending on if
the course had begun or not) until the revenue is recognized. In a non-term, borrower-based
environment, Title IV disbursements are generally based on a 24-credit academic year/12-credit
payment period for undergraduate students and a 12-credit academic year/6-credit payment period for
graduate students. Institutions operating on this basis are generally allowed to bring in up to
50% of a student&#146;s academic year financial aid at the start of a program. If this financial aid is
received for courses that have begun, then it is treated as unrestricted cash and deferred revenue
until the revenue is recognized. If the financial aid is received for courses that have not yet
begun, then it is treated as restricted cash and a student deposit liability. As a result of our
move to BBAY, we receive a greater proportion of student financial aid prior to the time courses
have begun, which has resulted in the shift of unrestricted cash to restricted cash and caused a
significant increase in the restricted cash amount between December&nbsp;31, 2009 and September&nbsp;30,
2010.
</DIV>



<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Cash used in investing activities was $91.7&nbsp;million and $53.0&nbsp;million for the nine months ended
September&nbsp;30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Cash used in investing activities in 2010 is primarily
due to an increase in restricted cash during the second and third quarters of 2010 as a result of
our transition from a term-based financial aid system to a non-term borrower based system (&#147;BBAY&#148;)
in April&nbsp;2010. Other capital expenditures of $39.6&nbsp;million in 2010 primarily consisted of
purchases of computer equipment and software costs to complete our transition from Datatel to
CampusVue and Great Plains, other internal use software projects, furniture and equipment to
support our increasing employee base and headcount and ground campus building projects to support
our increasing traditional ground student enrollment. In 2009, cash used in investing activities
was primarily the result of our acquisition on April&nbsp;28, 2009 of the land and buildings that
comprise our ground campus for $35.5&nbsp;million, in addition to the $18.9&nbsp;million of capital
expenditures which primarily consisted of computer equipment, leasehold improvements, and office
furniture and fixtures to support our increasing employee headcounts.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Cash used in financing activities was $0.9&nbsp;million and cash provided by financing activities was
$24.7&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2009. During 2010 principal payments on
notes payable and capital lease obligations and the repurchase of our common stock were offset by
proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the excess tax benefits from share-based
compensation. During 2009, the proceeds from our loan agreement were partially offset by the
repurchase of shares of our common stock in connection with the campus repurchase.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Grand Canyon Education, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2010 Results</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>GRAND CANYON EDUCATION, INC.</B>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Adjusted EBITDA</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">In addition to our GAAP results, we use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our operating
performance and as part of our compensation determinations. Adjusted EBITDA is not required by or
presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income,
operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an
alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of our liquidity.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense net of interest income, plus income
tax expense, and plus depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as adjusted for (i)&nbsp;royalty payments
incurred pursuant to an agreement with our former owner that has been terminated as of April&nbsp;15,
2008; (ii)&nbsp;contributions made to Arizona school tuition organizations in lieu of the payment of
state income taxes, which we typically make in the fourth quarter of a fiscal year; (iii)&nbsp;estimated
litigation losses, if any; (iv)&nbsp;exit costs, if any; (v)&nbsp;and share-based compensation.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our
operating performance. We also make certain compensation decisions based, in part, on our operating
performance, as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, and our loan agreement requires us to comply with
covenants that include performance metrics substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA. All of the
adjustments made in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA are adjustments to items that management
does not consider to be reflective of our core operating performance. Management considers our core
operating performance to be that which can be affected by our managers in any particular period
through their management of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit generating
operations during that period. Royalty expenses paid to our former owner, contributions made to
Arizona school tuition organizations in lieu of the payment of state income taxes, estimated
litigation losses, exit costs, and share-based compensation are not considered reflective of our
core performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA allows us to compare our current operating results
with corresponding historical periods and with the operational performance of other companies in
our industry because it does not give effect to potential differences caused by variations in
capital structures (affecting relative interest expense, including the impact of write-offs of
deferred financing costs when companies refinance their indebtedness), tax positions (such as the
impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses), the book
amortization of intangibles (affecting relative amortization expense), and other items that we do
not consider reflective of underlying operating performance. We also present Adjusted EBITDA
because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested
parties as a measure of performance.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, investors should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses
similar to the adjustments described above. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be
construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by expenses that are unusual,
non-routine, or non-recurring. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you
should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported
under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that it does not reflect:

measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for
net income, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or
as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of our liquidity. We
compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA
