What's a week at grace prep like?

---

Yes! New students are given placement tests to assure they are placed in the grade/classes that are the best fit for them.

If your child's placement test shows they are adhead/behind in reading or math, they may be placed in a different level class for that subject.  English/phonics and math blocks are held at the same time on the school schedule throughout all grades so that students may easily attend the correct level course for their learning level. This is a normal part of student life at GPA and our students enjoy having different classmates in different subjects. 

Yes. All curriculum and lesson pacing is chosen by the school. Classroom teachers assign weekly lessons online via Planbook. On satellite days, parents follow the instructions on Planbook for each subject. Although some subjects may have a learning curve to understand instruction style, no prior teaching knowledge or experience is required to fulfill your role as a parent teacher. We offer a mandatory 2-day training session for all teaching parents each August that will prepare you for your year ahead.

This varies based on the grade of your student, their personal needs, and the number of children you are teaching at home. On average, you can expect the following Kindergarten: 2 hours, First/Second: 2-3 hours, Third/Fourth/Fifth: 3+ hours, Middle School: 4+ hours. 

Although work must be completed for school the next day, the time, order, and location in which you complete your satellite day subjects is up to you!

We do not have a nurse on staff. However, all of our faculty are trained in CPR and first aid. We also have first aid supplies available in the school office that our Administration is always ready to assist with. Allergy plans are kept in the administration office as well. 

We take our student and faculty safety very seriously. School doors are locked at all times, and visitors must follow a detailed check in process. The school is equipped with cameras, and all staff are trained in building safety measures. Fire drills are held throughout the year at different times. Recess duty is covered by team of faculty to ensure safety of our students at play.
