GRACE School

Guided Restorative Academic Counseling Environment

GRACE School is a therapeutic, relationship-centered educational program designed to support secondary students with significant social, emotional, behavioral, and mental health needs. Operated by the Alameda County Office of Education, GRACE provides a safe, structured, and supportive learning environment where students can develop the academic, behavioral, and life skills necessary for long-term success.

Our interdisciplinary team collaborates to address the whole child through individualized educational programming, mental health supports, counseling services, behavioral interventions, and family engagement. Students receive student-centered academic supports while participating in opportunities that foster self-awareness, resilience, self-advocacy, and positive relationships.

GRACE is committed to creating a trauma-responsive and inclusive environment that recognizes students' strengths and potential. Through personalized supports, career exploration, social-emotional learning, and transition planning, students are empowered to build confidence and work towards their next steps in a supported and successful future.

At GRACE, we believe every student deserves a supportive community, opportunities for growth, and a pathway toward a successful future.
