GROVE

Grove is a public charter high school that is part of the Redlands Unified school district, located in Redlands, CA with about 224 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 18 teachers, Grove has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Grove School, located in Redlands, California, is an independent, college-preparatory institution that serves students in grades 7 through 12. Founded on the principles of the Montessori method, the school emphasizes a holistic approach to education that prioritizes student agency, intellectual curiosity, and community engagement. By integrating rigorous academic standards with a focus on social and emotional development, The Grove School aims to prepare students not only for success in higher education but also for responsible citizenship in a global society.

A defining feature of the school is its commitment to experiential learning and the "adolescent community" model, which encourages students to take an active role in managing their environment and local projects. The campus culture is intentionally collaborative, fostering close relationships between students and faculty. By emphasizing interdisciplinary studies, service learning, and critical thinking, The Grove School creates a unique educational setting that encourages students to pursue their individual passions while contributing meaningfully to the campus community and the surrounding Redlands area.
