What is GRIT?
GRIT exists to build fearless, capable kids ready to take on life's challenges
We believe:
Kids are tougher than most people think
Challenge builds confidence (comfort doesnt)
Real skills vs participation trophies
Homework before fun ( non-negotiable)
Effort matters more than outcome. Trust the process.
" I can't" just means " I can' YET"
So you make my child do their homework?
You help my child complete their homework?
We live by the motto "Get it done and get to the fun stuff." We are not a tutoring service. We are accountabilty. Homework is the child's responsibility. We don't do it for them; we help make sure it gets DONE. We check its complete ( not correct- there is a difference).
Having problems? Our JEI Learning Center teachers can help. We offer tutoring in both math and english as well as creative writing.
PS- For kids without homework, this is a great time to go outdoors or grab a book from our library or work on a stem challenge.

What is GRIT Club?
The After School Program that Kids Actually WANT to go To!
We designed GRIT Club for busy, modern parents. When you pick up your child, their homework is finished, their energy is spent, and their curiosity is satisfied. You get back the evening for quality family time, not negotiation!
How many children are in each class?
Safety is a number one rule at GRIT! All classes are limited to provide a small student/teacher ratio and ensure a safe environment.
What happens if I miss a class?
If you are unable to attend class your registered for, please contact GRIT via email (before the class) and a make-up class will be added to your account. Make-ups expire after 6 months and can only be used while actively enrolled.
How do iI cancel my membership?
To cancel your membership, please email GRIT in writing. We require 30 days' notice to withdraw from a class or cancel a membership.
Do I need to attend the class with my child?
For children under 3, a parent (or caregiver) must participate in class. For children 3 and up parents are invited to watch class from the lobby.
Which class is best for my child?
All of our classes @ GRIT are based on your child’s age to ensure your little athlete is learning to control their bodie and developing at an age-appropriate level. If you are unsure which class best fits your child, reach out to us and we would be happy to help!
