About Us

Our vision for Gratts Learning Academy for Young Scholars (GLAYS) is to transform all children into young scholars and ultimately, into graduates of higher education. We expect students will come to understand the importance of social justice and being of service, and that they will become leaders and agents of change in their communities and the world.

Our Mission

Our mission is for teachers, staff, parents, and community members to be conscientious advocates for children.  We will prepare and motivate students to be global, critical thinkers, socially just scholars, and citizens who share an expectation in pursuing a higher education. 
Ready for the World!
