Inspiring Learning

A School Embracing the Science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)  

Best of NWA Winner Best Educational Services

Welcome to The Grace School (TGS)! We are a fully accredited, year-round private school alternative recognized in 2024 for offering the BEST EDUCATIONAL SERVICES in Northwest Arkansas. We serve learners who sometimes fall through the cracks in traditional settings from 5-21 years old.

TGS utilizes Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to inspire learning. Extensive assessment practices are used to find challenging, accessible, and rewarding learning programs for each student. Teachers take a variety of curriculum materials (aligned with the common core or state standards) and establish measurable observable goals.

In addition to our school, Children’s ABA T.E.A.M. also offers clinic-based services.

Young Adults

In addition to serving children, TGS also serves older learners. Growing into adulthood is a critical stage of life that offers exciting milestone. It also can be challenging transition for many families.

At an age when more learners can begin falling through the cracks, TGS fosters independence while also offering an appropriate level of ABA-based instructional support for both academic and social-emotional development. 

We believe that all students, regardless of their age, can and will learn given the right set of tools and instruction. Simply put, we believe if a student isn’t learning it is the teaching that must be fixed, not the student!
