The educational program for Groves students is based on the belief that students learn best when instruction is direct, sequential, multi-sensory and addresses individual strengths and challenges.  To support this belief, Groves provides the resources necessary to accommodate diverse learning styles and skill levels.

Groves teachers use a diagnostic-prescriptive approach that continually assesses a child's learning.  Published materials and textbooks do not drive lesson planning.  Rather, teachers create lesson plans based on the rate and style of learning.  Homework also plays a significant role in the pace and delivery of instruction.  Because homework is assigned at a level where students can work independently, it is an important indicator of how a student is progressing.

The curriculum at Groves is designed to support students who are capable of learning but need a different way to learn.  In some cases a specialized curriculum is warranted; at other times a traditional course of study, taught by uniquely talented teachers who have a deep understanding of learning disabilities, is the key to students' success.
