Our classroom teachers are fully credentialed and several hold supplemental certifications or masters degrees. As a staff, we are committed to ongoing professional development and the use of effective, research-based teaching methods. Our balanced approach to the whole child helps our students develop critical thinking and inspires a thirst for learning. Grattan is fully committed to effective learning, in which the teachers’ and students’ voices are integral to the learning process. We help nurture our students’ social and emotional growth, as well as their ability to respect others and – most important – themselves.

Our classroom teachers are supported by a number of other certified instructors. We have a licensed speech therapist, a resource teacher, 2 music instructors (vocal and instrumental), instructional support aides, a media lab instructor, a PE instructor, as well as our Prop H librarian.

Grattan staff collaborate to bring learning to our children through curiosity and joy. We are committed to the belief that ALL children are learners

The Professionals at Grattan:
