Grove School

Grove School believes education is a continuing process that does not end at the classroom door. We aspire to maximize our students’ considerable educational abilities through individualized instruction and insight-oriented psychotherapy based on interpersonal relationships. We stress the development of sound group living skills, yet we recognize the need to deal with each child on the basis of that child’s individual problems.

Grove School is for emotionally troubled boys and girls 11 years of age and older with average or above average intelligence who have been unsuccessful in making a satisfactory adjustment in their homes, schools, or social relationships. Our students may have attention deficit disorder, low self-esteem, and may be hyperactive, obsessive or depressed. Most graduates attend college.

Grove School’s large staff enables us to design and implement academic and extracurricular programs appropriate to students’ individual needs. We carefully monitor and alter these programs to match the changes that take place in each student’s personal and social development. We attempt to meet each individual at their functioning level, to utilize their interests, and, through therapeutic re-education, help them achieve academic and personal success. All students are seen two times per week in individual psychotherapy. An important part of our Activities Program is ASTEE©, Alternative Therapeutic and Educational Experiences. This includes Adventure, Caribbean and foreign travel.

Students are placed in classes based on their academic level, age, and social-emotional development. The student-teacher ratio is about 5:1. Class size is generally 5 or 6 and does not exceed 10. There is a supervised 1 1/2-hour evening study period in the dorms. Students in need of extra help must spend additional time in a supervised after school study hall.There are four marking periods during the course of the academic year. Remedial assistance and additional tutoring are readily available.

Academic plans are determined to meet the needs of each student and where appropriate incorporated into the IEP/CSP.
