Groves Academy Information

Groves Academy is a private, independent, day school for students who have learning disabilities or attention disorders. Located in St. Louis Park, MN, a first-ring suburb of Minneapolis, Groves is the only school of its kind in the state. Groves has provided exemplary full-day and outreach programs to the Twin Cities community for 40 years. The Groves full-day program, accredited through the Independent Schools Association of the Central States, enrolls 200 students in grades 1-12. Average class sizes of eight, research-based instruction, and a supportive, personalized environment enable each student to have a positive school experience and achieve academic success. Some students graduate from Groves; others stay at Groves for three or four years before transitioning to a school where they can successfully apply the skills and strategies learned at Groves. The Groves outreach program supports students, families and educators throughout the Twin Cities community. Outreach opportunities include diagnostic assessments, tutoring, summer programs, community workshops, teacher training, and an annual college fair. Outreach services benefit students and also allow interested adults to learn from the expertise and experience of Groves teachers. The original Groves Learning Center was started in 1972 by a group of parents who didn't want to have to send their children to east coast schools to receive the kind of education that would help them become academically successful.
