Educational Solutions

Our program develops within each student the skills, knowledge, and values necessary for continued intellectual growth, moral development, and service to others. Grace offers an educational program in which students with learning differences are guided to achieve their unique academic goals.

Elementary

We desire to equip all students to be successful, life-long learners. We provide a Christ-centered learning environment where each student can receive support and instruction, conducive to their learning modality.

When students are found to need additional classroom support we offer smaller class instruction and support through our Math Intervention and Reading Intervention Programs. These programs offer students:

Small group professional support from loving and caring staff
Educational support pull-out and in-class resources
Accommodations provided for mainstream classes

If you have any questions about these programs, please contact our Dean of Academics, Jenn Koster at jkoster@gracesimi.com.

JR/SR High

Educational Solutions on the Jr/Sr High campus is primarily a strategic effort to serve and care for students who will benefit from additional educational assistance. This educational community is fostered by the appreciation of an individual's strengths and the fact that students learn in many different ways. The Educational Solutions instructor desires to come alongside students to help them achieve their academic goals by constructing learning options to advance their progress at Grace.
