Welcome from the Principal

Welcome to Griggs International Academy. We are glad to support you as you work toward your academic goals. Griggs has served students around the world for more than 100 years, and throughout that time we have continued to grow and adapt. We are constantly working to strengthen our programs and provide meaningful learning experiences.

As you explore our website, you will find that Griggs offers a wide range of options designed to meet different needs. As part of a Global Campus, we serve homeschool families as well as students enrolled in established schools or international affiliate sites. We value the diversity of learners who choose to study with us, so we offer flexible options.

Griggs provides a full elementary curriculum for Kindergarten through Grade 5 and online courses for Grade 6 through Grade 12. Each class connects students directly with certified teachers. Because we are owned and operated by Andrews University, our students have access to additional resources that enrich their education. Andrews offers qualified high school students the opportunity to take university online courses while completing their high school diploma.

Griggs Life Events are an essential part of the student experience at Griggs International Academy. Because many of our students learn online and often study independently, these events provide meaningful opportunities to connect with peers, meet caring adults, and experience a sense of community that strengthens both their motivation and well-being. Through activities such as Talk-O Tuesday sessions, workshops, and chapels, students build friendships, practice leadership, and feel a deeper sense of belonging. Students also meet with the subject teachers one-on-one at different points in core classes. These relational connections reflect our commitment to nurturing the whole person and remind students that, even in an online environment, they are part of a supportive and vibrant learning community.

This is an exciting time to join Griggs. We invite you to become part of our accredited program and experience the benefits of quality distance education brought closer to you.
