Groves Academy believes in the importance of education as a positive force in the lives of people who have learning, attention and language disorders. We believe that individuals with learning difficulties along with average intelligence and a desire to learn can become positive members of society. We believe that these individuals can confidently face their challenges and achieve greater success when the educational environment addresses their individual academic, social and emotional needs. We are committed to helping individuals recognize and develop their strengths, compensate for their weaknesses, build effective learning strategies and ultimately become stronger self-advocates. We believe that self-confidence grows as individuals experience success in a community based on strong and caring relationships.

The primary goal for students at Groves Academy is to strengthen their basic academic skills. Curriculum and instruction for students in grades 1-12 are based on the belief that students with learning disabilities learn best when instruction addresses individual strengths and weaknesses. To facilitate this belief, each student's cognitive, academic and social strengths s and weaknesses are identified and an individual educational program is designed. Students are grouped into small classes, methods and materials are geared toward individual needs and students are actively engaged in learning through multi-sensory instruction. Teachers guide students' learning by combining expertise with compassion, recognizing that the foundation of learning is the human relationship developed between teacher and student.
