School Reviews

I am 83 now and I remember my years at Graland. I always loved math and science and Graland taught me how to think and question not just memorize. We moved to Alabama I went to a public prep school in Montgomery and college at the University of Alabama. With a BSCE AND MS and worked for a worldwide Engineering and Construction company for 32 years retiring having been VP and GM of the Environmental Division. My sister and I both credit Graland for having given us both wonderful memories and a great foundation. PS: I still don`t like creamed onions!

I am a student in 5th grade at this school. It is amazing! People are always willing to become friends, and it is a very inclusive learning environment. However, due to the COVID-19 virus, it has been harder to interact with friends, and people outside of your `house` are not allowed to interact with you at school.

I have three boys who attend Graland. I highly recommend this school. The faculty and leadership team exceeded my expectations. My children receive personalized instruction with a focus on the entire child. I could not be more pleased with our experience.
