GradePower Learning Centers of Birmingham, AL Details
In May of 2013, Birmingham became home to one of the first GradePower Learning centers in the United States. Now you can discover first-hand what families in Jefferson, Shelby and St. Clair County now know; GradePower is way beyond tutoring. "When evaluating the various options for supplemental learning, we asked ourselves, ‘which model would we be most comfortable with enrolling our own kids?'", said Tony Mauro, who with his wife, Michelle, brought GradePower to the Birmingham area. "It was clear to us that the GradePower model was the only one that truly made a lasting difference in how children learn. Its methods are well aligned with the family values of our community."As the only learning center of its kind in America, GradePower knows that learning is not a standardized process that can be approached passively; it's a dynamic process that is best fulfilled when students are able to actively engage their entire cognitive potential. Rather than treat the brain like a database for storing information, we recognize it for what it truly is; a vital organ that needs nurturing, exercise and care. GradePower coaches students on "how to fish" for knowledge, versus simply "giving them the fish" through simple memorization.Our valuesOur mission is to help our students achieve their highest potential. Likewise, we extend that philosophy to our role as a corporate citizen. We help our community achieve its highest potential by supporting its education system. We help our staff achieve their highest potential through fostering a quality work environment, continuous improvement and full engagement in the GradePower process.
