School Notes
We believe that education is about more than achieving
grade-level standards. It`s about nurturing a child`s gifts,
inspiring creativity and curiosity, and fostering perseverance and
compassion as the foundations for leadership. The Grace School
brings our philosophy to life through five key areas:
Academics should be rigorous: Our curriculum combines the best
in evidence-based practices from across the academic landscape to
ensure students meet-or-exceed grade-level standards while
developing their individual strengths and passions.Our core
curriculum includes: Language Arts (reading, writing and word
study); Math; Science and Social Studies. Special subjects include:
American Sign Language; Art; Digital Media Studies/Library; Music;
Physical Education; Social-Emotional Studies and
Spanish.
Class size as it should be: small: The average classroom at The
Grace School is comprised of 18 students. Additionally, each
classroom is staffed by highly credentialed educators who employ
the Responsive Classroom instructional model. This evidence-based
approach combines social-emotional learning with individualized
academics that promote higher student achievement.
The Grace School believes student success is a partnership
between educators and families. We believe in and foster a
year-round, globally minded learning community that encourages
parents and students to take an active role in shaping school
culture, academic offerings and more.
This place is incredible: The Grace School offers an
unparalleled physical learning environment for our students.
Recently named a Green Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of
Education, our 90,000 square feet of learning space was completely
refurbished in 2019, and each spacious classroom features natural
lighting, climate control, flexible workspace, WiFi and
leading-edge SMART board technology. The Grace School is also a 1:1
device school, providing each student with their own iPad to ensure
the highest quality of learning. Additional facilities include: an
Apple-powered computer lab; fully staffed library; indoor
salt-water pool; a full-sized gymnasium; an outdoor track and
artificial turf field; a multi-sport outdoor court and more than
20,000 square feet of playgrounds and green space.
Inclusion really is a big idea: The benefits are not just
incredible, they`re tangible. The Grace School is the only fully
inclusive K-8 school in the nation. We believe diversity is our
greatest asset. Unlike traditional educational models that
segregate children with special needs, The Grace School places
children of all needs and abilities in the same classroom each and
every day.
