Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

OUR VISION IS TO REDEFINE THE WAY OUR NATION IS TAUGHT, ONE STUDENT, ONE TEACHER AND ONE EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION AT A TIME. GA IS AN EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION SERVING STUDENTS WITH STRONG ABILITY ALONG WITH DYSLEXIA, ADHD AND OTHER EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING CHALLENGES. TO MEET THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN NOT ATTENDING GA EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION, GA EXPANDED ITS OFFERINGS BY CREATING THE LEARNING CENTER (LC) AT GROVES ACADEMY. THE LC SUPPORTS FAMILIES AND EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE DELIVERY OF SPECIALIZED SERVICES FOR STUDENTS DIAGNOSED WITH A RANGE OF LEARNING DISABILITIES. IN 2016, GA DETERMINED ITS NEXT EXPANSION WOULD BE TO BECOME A CATALYST FOR SYSTEMS CHANGE IN LITERACY INSTRUCTION. THE GROVES LITERACY PARTNERSHIP (GLP) (FORMERLY IPL) WAS ESTABLISHED TO SHARE GA'S PROVEN GROVES LITERACY FRAMEWORK WITH TEACHERS AND EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY COMMITTED TO ENSURING THE CHILDREN THEY SERVE ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO REACH THEIR READING POTENTIAL.

Activities or mission (Part I)

WE BUILD CONFIDENCE, SUCCESS, AND PURPOSE THROUGH TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCES.

  • GA'S EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION SERVES STUDENTS IN GRADES ONE-12 WITH DYSLEXIA, ADHD OR OTHER EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING CHALLENGES. 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. ALL STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN DAILY INSTRUCTION IN READING, SPELLING, WRITTEN EXPRESSION, MATH, SOCIAL STUDIES AND SCIENCE. ENRICHMENT OPTIONS INCLUDE PHYSICAL EDUCATION, ART, MUSIC AND PERFORMING ARTS. CURRICULUM IS EVIDENCE-BASED AND DESIGNED TO SUPPORT EACH STUDENT'S STRONG CAPABILTY TO LEARN WHILE PROVIDING FLEXIBILITY IN HOW THEY LEARN. A CORE COMPONENT OF THE CURRICULUM IS HOW STUDENTS LEARN TO READ. GA'S EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION SUCCESSFULLY INCORPORATES OVER 50 YEARS OF PROVEN ACADEMIC RESEARCH IN ITS LITERACY INSTRUCTION WITH ITS STUDENTS OFTEN GAINING OVER TWO YEARS OF READING GROWTH DURING THEIR FIRST YEAR OF INSTRUCTION. MANY STUDENTS RETURN SUCCESSFULLY TO MAINSTREAM EDUCATION AFTER THEY HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN ACADEMICS, LEARNING STRATEGIES AND SELF-ADVOCACY WHILE AT GROVES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
