Innovative educational options for students who can achieve more.

For students who can accomplish far more than society expects, Grove Academy’s Self-Paced Learning Support Services (SPL[i]SS) provides families with a private, student-centered school choice focusing on academics with individualized approaches, and an emphasis on executive skills training.

We offer the most advanced flexible, self-paced learning support services in the 8 -12th grade sector because of our commitment to delivering education in innovative ways.

Independent Path’s mission is to encourage, engage, and empower our students and families on their educational journey. 

  • We ENCOURAGE students to respect themselves, others, and their responsibilities.
  • We ENGAGE our students to cultivate intellectual curiosity and personal interests.
  • We EMPOWER our students to be self-sufficient and active learners.

What is Self-Paced Learning Support?

Self-Paced Learning Support is the key for successful virtual learning. Advisors and tutors create personalized plans with students and families to make sure students receive the support and encouragement they need to be successful within the virtual learning environment.

The Students working with SPL[i]SS

SPL[i]SS accommodate students from 8th grade through 12th grade. We consider each student on a case-by-case basis and tailor our program to meet the needs of each student.

We help students catch up, keep up, and stay ahead.

Our students are the first in a new generation to break away from traditional schooling. They’re not just focused on chasing high grades or piling up difficult courses. Instead, our students take control of their own learning. They seek a real understanding of course content and cultivate interests in many areas.

SPL[i]SS benefits a wide range of learners.

Grove Academy SPL[i]SS offers the most advanced flexible, self-paced learning support for the 8 -12 sector because of our commitment to delivering education in innovative ways.

Resilience

Grove Academy understands that failure can be a bridge to success. While Independent Path is not a rigid program, we provide a structured environment to help students develop the resilience needed to succeed in life. 

Relationships

Relationships are a central component of our approach to education. The two-part team relationship between families and academic coaches is the cornerstone of our student’s success. 

Building these relationships allows us to work alongside students to encourage curiosity and a sense of personal agency.

We frame education so students can meaningfully engage in their lessons. Our instructors act as guides, working in tandem with students to create a learning experience that allows for the needed flexibility elite student athletes or dancers require.

Grove Academy - SPL[i]SS - 8-12 Grade

Grove Academy Self-Paced Learning Support Service (SPL[i]SS) is for motivated, self-disciplined, and goal-oriented students. Typical SPL[i]SS students are high-performing NCAA athletes, pre-professional dancers and artists, or students with scheduling limitations due to medical needs or other extenuating circumstances that make "traditional" educational models impractical.

SPL[i]SS services include onboarding interviews and recommendations for academic planning, coordination with college advising or other programs, a dedicated advisor with weekly meetings, periodic progress reports, and two hours of weekly private tutoring. Students can complete their courses through Huntsville Virtual Academy (HVA), EdOptions Academy, Dual-Enrollment, and other virtual academies.

The best learning environment is collaborative. Parent involvement in student learning encourages stronger relationships, engages interactions on multiple levels, and empowers students to thrive. We partner with you to make decisions and plan for your child's future education and career.

Grove Academy holds the transcript and manages academic planning and graduation requirements. Students must be enrolled in an accredited program that meets NCAA standards.
"My twin girls had a very successful elementary experience in our public schools, but Junior High coincided with Covid and that was a disaster. The Learning Team/Grove Academy staff went beyond in catching my girls back up from what they missed, helping them establish good habits and strong routines, and of course, learn material that has set them up for success in high school and beyond. In addition, the team at Grove Academy made the process as stress-free for our family as possible. Thank you to Ashlee and the GA team. We’ve loved having our kids at Grove Academy!"
