Flexible and Creative Learning
At GRASP, students can be honest about their challenges in the learning process with teachers who are equipped to change the model. Our teachers are trained in the Orton-Gillingham methodology, an intensive, phonics-based, multisensory approach that involves three pathways of learning: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Instructors tie words, figures, and numbers with experience to create lessons rooted in memory. It is never a matter of ‘if’ the student grasps the concept, only ‘how’.
United for Success
The only thing that separates GRASP from other schools is that it is made up of a student body united by their challenges, and teachers present to their needs. The GRASP Academy has the same hours as other county schools with the same vision and mission for its students. We also have a growing list of clubs and afterschool activities, as well as regular athletics.

Thinking Beyond Standards
The quality of our instruction surpasses that of any private school. Our teachers, many with master’s and doctorate degrees, think beyond the standards. Teachers have the freedom to individualize instruction to make learning a joy for all of our students. That is why we reach beyond the standards.
