Grove Street Academy
 Grove Street Academy serves Day and Residential students, ages 8-18 years of age, grades 4th through 10th. GSA is an 853 NYSED approved school, specializing in small departmental and self-contained classes. GSA employs a system of intervention and support for families and students unable to benefit from the services offered in public education sectors.
The Grove Street Academy provides emotionally and learning-disabled students with a structured, personalized educational setting. Prescriptive and diagnostic strategies are developed to help students achieve educational goals established by New York State Standards and the student's own Individual Education Program.
Clinical services are provided to families. Educational and clinical staff work with students and families through a team approach. This comprehensive approach is aimed at preventing residential placement for day students, and strengthening the families of all students. When residential students return to their homes, they are prepared to re-enter public school. Day students are returned to their school of origin upon the recommendation of the Committee on Special Education and Grove Street Academy.
The mission of the GSA is to assist students and families in becoming life-long learners and problem solvers, and to promote the teaching of social skills in a safe and nurturing educational environment. The summer program, in particular, provides alternative and interesting activities such as rock-climbing, hiking, and working in community agencies such as the Hudson River Maritime Museum. Learning takes place in a myriad of activities which are all aimed at
restoring confidence in students and love for learning. |
