Think about the paraprofessionals, aides, and other support staff on your campus.
They show up early. They stay late.
They already lead small groups, manage classrooms, and build trust with students.
What if the only thing they’re missing is a clear path to certification?
At Gracelyn University, we believe support staff shouldn’t have to quit their jobs to become certified teachers.
We’ve built a different kind of program—one that works with real life, not against it.

How Gracelyn Makes Certification Possible

Here’s what makes our model work:

  • Flexible, Asynchronous Courses: Study evenings, weekends, or lunch breaks—no required meeting times.
  • Fast-Paced, Term-Based Learning: Terms are only 8 weeks long; students can move quickly without burnout.
  • Flat-Rate Tuition: Most students pay $111–$222/month with no hidden fees—often paying out-of-pocket without debt.
  • State-Approved Certifications: Graduates earn credentials for Early Childhood, Elementary, Secondary, Special Ed, and English Learners.
  • Rooted in Mission and Excellence: All from a faith-driven, supportive community focused on purpose and leadership.

When you nominate someone, you’re not asking them to leave what they love—you’re helping them grow it.
