About Us
|
|
After several years of home schooling Jerry and Kathy Cluff opened their
home to friends. Here we integrate into our curriculum both stimulating academics and essential scriptural based, character strengthening
values. Our goal is to provide a rich blend of topics aimed at providing a well rounded education. We
encourage citizenship, personal growth, family unity and service.
Parents play an integral role in their children’s education at Grant Academy.
We provide a detailed schedule and parent planner to keep parents advised about what we are studying
in class. We also have monthly parent’s meetings and personal interviews each term. By sharing the
work and combining home school and private school we are able to keep costs low.
The monthly tuition is $100.00 with a $50.00 registration fee plus books. Family
and helper rates available. Rates subject to change.

Statement of Belief
|
- We believe in setting and working toward goals. As teachers, we need to know the goals of every student in our class. Some students may be preparing ti enter university work as soon as possible. Some may want to pursue a high school certificate or GED. Others may be more interested in pursuing vocational opportunities and may want training in a particular skill as soon as possible. Before beginning the 2004-2005 school year, we will be visiting with the parents of each student and with the students themselves to identify what it is the student wants to achieve.
- We believe the number one purpose of education is to strengthen character. This involves the integration of all learning disciplines around the central theme that each person is a child of God and that the purpose of life is to acquire Godlike attributes and to gain a personal conviction of their power and correctness. This necessitates a spiritual atmosphere for learning, "if ye receive not the Spirit, ye shall not teach." We believe one of the most important concepts a young person can learn is that "Reverence Invites Revelation" and that boisterous, unruly behavior is contrary to the true spirit of learning. While there is a time for fun and levity, our classroom should always be a place of order and respect, and conducive to the Spirit.
- We believe the Book of Mormon is "the most correct of any book on earth...and that a person would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book." Each student who attends Grant Academy will be encouraged to immerse himself in a study of that book both in and out of class. We also study the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Qu'ran, and encourage students to seek for truth in all areas of life.
- We believe Grant Academy is only a supplement to parental influence and teaching. Parents are the true guides to their children's education and should be intricately involved in knowing what the children are learning and be able to reinforce such learning at home. This is especially critical since Grant Academy meets only 12 hours a week, leaving much time for other parental direction. A study syllabus for the 2004-2005 school year is prepared to give parent and student and overview of the school year. Hopefully, this will help greatly in achieving parental support and reinforcement.
We are thrilled with the possibilities and the real potential of this school. We felt a need in our family and we know that there are many others that also need this school. By keeping the costs low, we hope to be a service to many families. We thank you for your support and confidence in us.
