Mission Statement
The mission of Grace Holistic Center for Education is to illuminate the child in mind, body, spirit and academics as a whole-child focused private school. We believe in parent choice, community involvement, mindfulness and time outdoors.
About This Cause
Grace Holistic Center for Education (GHCFE) is a private, secular, non-profit preK-12 school located in Yorkville, Illinois serving the greater Chicagoland area. Our school was founded in 2016 and is registered with the State of Illinois and the Illinois State Board of Education, and is a Cognia accredited institution. We are a 501(c)3 not for profit organization that receives no public funding, relying heavily on fundraising to operate our growing school that is now approaching 100 students. Our students and their families primarily reside in Cook, Dekalb, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will Counties of Illinois. The most common reasons why families transfer to our school is because they weren’t getting the support they needed or their student struggled for a number of reasons in a traditional school setting. Many of our families understand that children today face different challenges in a post-pandemic digital world, and are looking for a more supportive environment for their child. Many are looking for a school that welcomes heavily engagement from families and the community in the educational process. We are not a registered therapeutic school, but our whole-child approach offers an alternative for families seeking a holistic choice for their child’s development. Our mission is to further the illumination of the human spirit. This endeavor is pursued by interweaving mind, body, spirit, and academics as an interconnected, interdependent system. GHCFE has been providing this dynamic whole child approach to education since 2016, and we are observing the positive impact it has on students, their families, and the greater community. GHCFE’s whole-child education model focuses on the learner at the center while providing much needed wrap around support so they can achieve their maximum potential. Our holistic model addresses these critical components to nurture the whole child’s development in the academic setting: • Physical Health + Wellness • Mental Health + Wellness & Cognitive Development • Family & community Engagement • Academics centered on the individual learner • Care for the world around us and our environment. How do we support our model? • Therapeutic Support team • Mindfulness program • Yoga and meditation • Global Citizenship through Service • Life Skills program • Sustainability program • Mixed Age Classrooms • Family programs and service requirements • Internships + Career Exploration program • Special Elective programs • Community partnerships To learn more about our whole-child approach to education and it's impact on our community, visit us online (www.ghcfe.org) to read our new “WHOLE-CHILD IMPACT SERIES”.
