Groves Academy is committed to supporting families and individuals in the community who are interested in learning more about dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning differences.

Our Community Education Workshop Series is one way we share valuable information with parents, students, educators, and other professionals. All workshops are open to the public.

OUR MISSION

We build confidence, success, and purpose through transformative learning experiences.

OUR VISION

To redefine the way our nation is taught, one student, one teacher, and one school at a time.

OUR VALUES

In addition, we host community events in order to raise awareness of learning differences and help support families. These events are free and open to the public. We encourage everyone interested to attend and to bring friends and family members.

At the heart of Groves Academy is a community where students, families, faculty, and staff are engaged with a sense of belonging, sharing, and support. As a community, integrity and respect are intrinsic in everything we do.
