Private Schools

I arrived at The Grand River Academy as a lost and misguided boy at the age of 15 who had potential but was heading down the wrong path. I attended and lived at GRA my sophomore and junior years of high school and can honestly say that those two years were monumental for me. I hate to think about what would of happened to me had my parents not sent me there. I now have a wonderful family of my own, a great career, am an honorably discharged Marine Corps veteran, and have a BA and MA degree from a really great university. I would not be where I am today if it weren't for the wonderful teachers and staff of GRA. If you have boy who is underachieving and heading down the wrong path, I would highly recommend that you look into and consider sending him to GRA. They turn boys into young men and he will thank you for it one day. Trust me.

Amazing!!!!

The staff of very friendly and helpful

My younger sister and brother attended the Goddard school several years ago and it was a great experience. The owners/staff were super friendly and my parents trusted my siblings being there. Great place!

Thankfully Lawernce Schools are a thing of our past. They were out only choice other than public school for my boys with Aspergers. They claimed they knew what they were doing. They did not. I have advocated for my children from their birth and I didn't when it became an issue with the controlling administration. We had terrible experiences over and over. When my father forgot to pick them up one afternoon, they were left in the vestibule with out anyone noticing 2 6ft tall boys. They closed down the school with then in it. It was Winter. When they walked out the front door it locked on them. The had to walk up to Northfield Rd in the dark and cross over the 4 lanes with out a cross walk to a store they were familiar with. In years my one son asked to use the phone. He called me. I was horrified. I immediately picked them up. The next day when I emailed the head master about this particular situation. He responded with, it was my fault because I had not gotten my 13 yo boys cell phones. This was over 10 yrs ago. Kids did not get cell phones then. They did after that. If that was the only way they would be safe at that school. I pulled them out in 11 the grade when I realized that stress of going to Lawrence caused them to vomit every morning. Becareful. I hope things have changed by now.

Excellent education with world class staff.
