Educational organization Grad Solutions opened a new office Sept. 20 in Gilbert.
This expansion comes as Grad Solutions celebrates 11 years giving students who have dropped out a new path forward.
Grad Solutions provides a lifeline for students seeking to overcome barriers in their educational journey by working hand-in-hand with each student to identify their unique challenges and collaboratively create an individual learning plan that delineates a straight-forward track to earn a high school diploma.
The new office at 1555 N. Fiesta Blvd. in Gilbert will serve as a hub for educational support, counseling, and guidance for students.
"At Grad Solutions, we believe that every student deserves a chance at success, and we are dedicated to helping them achieve their goals," Jim Lee, founder and CEO of Grad Solutions, said in a release "We are excited about the opportunity to expand our presence in Gilbert and look forward to making a positive impact on the lives of even more students."
Grad Solutions is an Arizona-based education service provider that partners with school districts, charter schools, county superintendents, and community partners to help reconnect and empower students to customize their educational journey.
By utilizing the support systems available through Grad Solutions, students can create their own schedules and work on their classes anytime or anywhere through the online learning platform.
Grad Solutions provides an individualized learning plan for each student, a personalized mentor team, instructors certified in their content area, and wraparound services to help guide students on their path to graduation, all at no cost to the student or their families.
Designed for students between 16-21 years of age residing in Arizona who have been out of school for more than 30 days.
Individual learning plans are based on each student’s personal progress within courses as they make their way toward graduation.
The curriculum is available to students 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and is supported by a team of certified and highly qualified Arizona-based instructors.
Each student’s personal mentor works with them every step toward earning their diploma and setting them up for their next steps.
