If you’re a paraprofessional, classroom aide, or instructional assistant, you already play a vital role in the lives of students. But if you’ve tried to move forward with a teaching degree—and felt stuck, unsupported, or overwhelmed—you’re not alone.
In fact, more and more paraprofessionals are making the switch from schools like WGU and others to Gracelyn University. Why? Because they’ve found a better path here—one that fits their calling, their schedule, and their reality.

1. They Were Trying to Do It All—With No Support

Many paraprofessionals start at online universities hoping for flexibility. What they don’t expect is:

  • Confusing rubrics
  • Self-teaching every assignment
  • A lack of real-time feedback or guidance
  • Feeling alone in the process

Gracelyn was designed for students who need flexibility—but also structure and personal support.

2. They Couldn’t Afford to Quit Their Jobs

Most paraprofessionals can’t afford to stop working for unpaid student teaching—and many online programs don’t offer options.
Gracelyn partners with students, schools, and districts to create practical paths to certification that don’t require walking away from your job.

3. They Needed a Coach, Not a Call Center

At Gracelyn, students receive:
✅ 1:1 success coaching
✅ Real instructors (not just evaluators)
✅ Encouragement and clarity every step of the way
You’ll always know what’s expected—and you’ll always have someone in your corner.
