This Amended and Restated Joint Filing Agreement (the “Joint Filing Agreement”) amends and restates that certain Joint Filing Agreement, dated December 5, 2008, by and among Brent D. Richardson, Christopher C. Richardson, Rich Crow Enterprises, LLC, and Masters Online, LLC. Rich Crow Enterprises, LLC and Masters Online, LLC no longer own any shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Grand Canyon Education, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Grand Canyon”), and they are therefore no longer parties to the Joint Filing Agreement.

This Amended and Restated Joint Filing Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement on the 9th day of June, 2009.
