GradePower Learning

Specialties

GradePower Learning offers quality after school programs for students of all ages and grades, from early reading for children as young as three, to College and University preparation courses.

Each program is custom-​designed to meet a student’s unique learning needs. Every student, no matter if the goal is to catch up, to keep up, or to get ahead, can live up to their fullest potential in a way that doesn’t make them conform to a learning method, but instead where the material conforms to their needs.

Our programs were developed using the science of cognitive development, which means that students don’t just get better grades, they learn how to learn. This process empowers students, and gives them the confidence that they need tackle their learning challenges, not just for this grade, but for every grade!

It’s a unique approach to learning that brings results that last a lifetime.

History

Established in 1984.

GradePower Learning is the U.S. name for Oxford Learning, which opened in London, Ontario in 1984. The founder, Dr. Nick Whitehead, identified a need among many families for a supplement to school that doesn’t just drill information, but actually strengthens their critical thinking, so they can learn more easily and achieve their full potential in all subjects — not just reading or writing or math. He developed Oxford’s curriculum to both train the most important thinking skills, and improve reading, writing, math, and study skills. For twenty-​nine years, Oxford Learning in Canada, and now GradePower Learning in the U.S., have been helping children become independent thinkers and active learners.
