Groves Academy

Groves Academy is a day school in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, serving between 200 and 300 students across elementary, middle, and high school grades. The school is built entirely around students with learning disabilities and attention challenges — dyslexia, ADHD, and related differences. That is not a specialty add-on. It is the whole model.

Teaching at Groves means using structured, research-based methods every single day. Faculty do not adapt a general curriculum on the fly. They work inside a system designed from the start for these learners. The school also partners with Twin Cities public schools to extend its literacy approach into the broader region. Staff here contribute to work that goes well past the St. Louis Park campus.

For educators who want to specialize in learning differences, this level of focus is rare in Minnesota day schools. Most teachers who want this work spend years trying to fit specialized methods into general-education settings. At Groves Academy, that specialization is the starting point — not something you build toward.

The school's finances signal stability. In 2023, Groves reported revenue of roughly $32.6 million and net assets near $27.8 million, with fundraising growing at about 3.6 percent. Schools in that position tend to invest consistently in staff salaries, benefits, and professional development. Candidates should weigh those factors alongside any listed pay figure when comparing roles in the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro.

Open teaching and staff positions span all three divisions. Roles include classroom faculty, learning support specialists, and administrative staff. The hiring cycle tracks the academic year, with most faculty openings posted in winter and spring.
