Grace is a general education setting. Our goal is for all of our students to thrive academically, socially, emotionally and physically. We want to ensure that all students have full access to our program and facilities. To do this, we prioritize classroom practices that are grounded in scientific evidence, such that all students receive a baseline of high quality instruction. We believe that transparent and clear communication with families is the hallmark to supporting the success of each student.

In the early childhood division, the student support team consists of a literacy specialist, a counselor and a learning specialist who support the division head. This team meets regularly with homeroom teachers, associates, and specialists to monitor the progress of all students. The learning specialist, counselor, and literacy specialists are available to consult with all families.

Student support is primarily provided in the classroom or in small group settings. At times, students may need more targeted individualized support, which is limited to short term interventions at the recommendation of the division head or the guidance committee.
