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 Brethren offers a multi-sensory educational program in which students with learning differences are guided to achieve their unique academic goals.
Our Programs
Elementary
We provide a Christ centered learning environment where each student can learn at their own individual pace, and conducive to their learning modality.
We offer specialized classroom instruction in each class. When students are found to need additional classroom supports we offer additional, smaller class support programs through our Math Lab and Reading Intervention Program.
If you have any questions about these programs, please contact our Dean of Academics, Jenn Koster at jkoster@gracebrethren.com.

Jr/Sr High
On the Jr/Sr High Campus, EdSOL is a strategic effort to serve and care for students that desire to utilize alternative learning options. This educational community is fostered by not only the appreciation of an individual's strengths but also the fact that our students learn in many different ways. EdSOL Instructors desire to come alongside students to help them achieve their academic goals by constructing several learning options to advance their progress.
This designed support includes IEP/504 accommodations, ESL competencies, remedial care, credit recovery, under-achieving student intervention, as well as independent study coursed for advanced learners.
Grace Brethren Schools accommodates up to 120 credits of independent study (3 classes per year) toward the 270-credit requirement for graduation. This gives students who qualify the opportunity to receive designed support to accomplish their specific academic goals.
