Groves Academy

Groves Academy is a non-profit organization that transforms lives through education. We have expertise in literacy, dyslexia, study skills, and teaching the process of learning. We are the only organization of our kind in Minnesota.Groves consists of three programs: Our School, The Learning Center, and the Institute for Professional Learning. Our school serves students in grades 1-12 who have strong ability and a desire to learn along with dyslexia, ADHD, or other learning challenges. When these students have the opportunity to learn in a different way – with highly trained teachers, small class sizes, and specialized curriculum – they begin to experience success, build confidence, and recognize their full potential. Groves students feel understood and included as part of a community of learners. Since our founding by visionary parents in 1972, the teachers and staff at Groves Academy have helped change the lives of thousands of students. The Learning Center at Groves Academy offers services to families in the community who can benefit from our expertise in diagnosing and supporting individuals with learning disabilities. We give them access to services to help their children experience success and gain confidence. Services include diagnostic testing, tutoring, summer programs, career and post-secondary coaching, assistive technology training, educational consulting, and speech-language therapy.We believe we have a moral obligation to democratize good literacy instruction. Too many children are reading below their grade level and being left behind. The Institute for Professional Learning at Groves Academy shares the proven methods we use in our school with teachers, schools, school districts, and other mission-driven organizations to advance literacy instruction for all children.We strive to make learning a joyful experience.
