New Staff on Website

Chaviva believes strongly in educating the whole person and we are committed to having the support staff necessary to ensure all of our students maximize their incredible potential, both inside and outside the classroom walls.  

Our Academic Coach, Mrs. Sarah Rena Grodko, will work with students and staff to ensure that each Chaviva girl's individual academic needs are being met. Students will be given either support or enrichment  based on their needs, and teachers will be guided on best practices for today's classroom.  

Mrs. Ahuva Grodko, LSW will be at the Chaviva campus on a weekly basis to meet with students individually and to teach various lessons on emotional health and well-being.  She will be an incredible source of guidance and support for both student and staff.
