I enjoy attending Grove Christian School. They are very involved with each and every student, and they strive to help each and every student reach their highest potential. They are very accommodating and have worked with many student who struggle with mental health issues or other academic struggles such as ADHD and Dyslexia. I highly encourage those who are looking for a Godly school environment to attend Grove.
