HOW IT began

For as many as 1 out of 5 students, dyslexia seemingly closes the book before the story even begins. In early 2012, this statistic became real for two Cobb County mothers, and so the story of GRACEPOINT begins . . .

After seeing their sons struggle in the traditional school system, Molly Holm and Angie Strack, found themselves simultaneously beginning a journey to find the right educational t for their children. Both of their sons had just received a diagnosis of dyslexia, and they quickly discovered they had a feeling of panic in common. Not knowing how to help their children, they joined forces to find a school to meet the educational needs of their very bright, yet frustrated dyslexic learners.
