GRATIUM PRO OMNIBUS
Gratiam Pro Omnibus (GPO), Latin for “Grace for All,” is Faith Academy’s specialized enrichment program designed to support students with unique learning needs, including challenges with reading comprehension, dyslexia, and academic skill gaps. Rooted in a classical Christian approach, GPO reflects our belief that every child is created in the image of God and deserves an education that nurtures their God-given potential while equipping them to thrive in our academically rigorous environment.
Focused Support for Reading and Comprehension
GPO is particularly designed to assist students who struggle with foundational literacy skills, including decoding, fluency, and comprehension. Whether facing dyslexia or other reading difficulties, students receive targeted interventions to strengthen these areas and develop confidence as readers.
• Alphabet Phonics:
A multi-sensory, Orton-Gillingham based approach, Alphabet Phonics systematically builds skills in reading, writing, spelling, and grammar. This proven method is ideal for students with dyslexia or language-based learning challenges, helping them master the building blocks of literacy.
• Reading Comprehension Strategies:
Students learn techniques to improve comprehension, retention, and analytical thinking—essential skills for engaging with classical texts and participating fully in the curriculum.
Mathematical Foundations and Critical Thinking
We recognize that a strong foundation in mathematics is essential for developing logical reasoning and problem-solving skills—cornerstones of a classical education. GPO’s math interventions go beyond rote memorization, focusing instead on conceptual understanding and mastery of mathematical principles.
• Stern Math:
Using hands-on, multi-sensory tools, Stern Math helps students build number sense, mental math strategies, and problem-solving abilities. This method is particularly effective for students who need additional reinforcement in foundational math concepts and provides a structured path toward more advanced topics.
• Building Confidence and Proficiency:
By breaking down complex problems into manageable steps, students gain confidence in their ability to approach mathematical challenges. GPO emphasizes critical thinking, encouraging students to see connections between math and other disciplines, such as science and logic
Equipping Students for Academic Rigor
Faith Academy’s classical Christian education is both rich and challenging. GPO is designed not only to remediate academic gaps but also to accelerate growth, enabling students to meet the demands of our rigorous curriculum. Through individualized instruction and consistent reinforcement of skills, students are equipped to excel in grammar, logic, and rhetoric stages.
Highly Trained Educators
Our GPO educators have undergone extensive training, including over 200 hours of coursework at the Phillips Fundamental Learning Center. Certified in evidence-based interventions, they bring expertise and compassion to every student they serve. By partnering closely with classroom teachers, they ensure that students receive seamless support both in and out of the classroom.
Whole-Person Growth
At Faith Academy, we are committed to fostering not only academic excellence but also spiritual, social, and emotional growth. GPO emphasizes character development, perseverance, and confidence, preparing students to approach learning as an act of worship and service to God.
