GRACE promotes flexibility within the Groton curriculum and helps all students reach their full potential. 对于一些, GRACE will accelerate access to our most advanced courses; for others, 它将填补准备的空白,为成功奠定基础.
The optional four-week program prepares GRACE Scholars for the rigors of Upper School, 同时也认识到夏季娱乐和休闲的重要性. Each winter, current Third Formers receive information about applying to GRACE.
