Help Grove Students Learn Beyond the Classroom
The Grove Parent Teacher Group (GPTG) is a California 501(c)(3) that brings families, educators, and community partners together to fund the experiences that make learning at The Grove School extraordinary.
Community Support Unlocks Possibility
Our mission is to strengthen the Grove School experience by raising and responsibly stewarding funds that expand opportunities for students, support educators and build meaningful connections among students, families, teachers and the greater Redlands community.
Â
Through fundraising, community partnerships and volunteer engagement, GPTG helps make key experiences, programs and opportunities possible—enriching student life and helping our Grove community thrive.
Be the Key raises funds to support the Grove School with field trips, the campout, and other student experiences that are outside of the school's budget.

-
Campouts at San Clemente Beach for grades 11-12, Silverwood Lake for grades 9-10, and on campus for grades 7-8.

Different By Design
The Grove School is a tuition-free public charter school in Redlands where Montessori principles, hands-on academics and an agriculture-centered campus come together for students in grades 7–12. Young people have meaningful opportunities to direct their learning, contribute to their community and connect classroom concepts with the wider world.

A Working Farm Campus
Grove’s working farm gives students opportunities to learn through direct experience with plants, animals and the land. Agriculture becomes part of the classroom, connecting academic concepts with responsibility, problem-solving, sustainability and meaningful hands-on work.
Montessori for Adolescents
Grove extends Montessori principles into the middle and high school years, when students are developing independence and discovering who they are. Self-directed, project-based learning encourages curiosity, collaboration, personal responsibility and active participation in the learning process.
Public and Tuition Free
As a tuition-free public charter school, Grove makes its distinctive educational model accessible to families throughout the community. Public funding provides the foundation, while donations help expand the experiences, programs and resources available to every student.
Rooted in Redlands
Grove students learn within a community that extends beyond the school campus. Partnerships with families, local businesses and community organizations connect students to real-world experiences while strengthening their sense of belonging, service and responsibility to others.
