Grove 2025-2026 General Information
Grove 2025-2026 General Information
This year at The Grove, we will continue to begin our day together in our Morning Collective space. The time will be used to hold certain components as a community, including: our benediction, Scripture, poetry recitation, and singing the Doxology together. We ask that everyone arrive at 8:45 to drop off lunches and class supplies inside while the students play outside.
Syllabird is the online tool we use at The Grove to share weekly lesson plans and homework assignments between teachers and parents. Whatever is posted on Syllabird is expected to be completed by students before class the following Tuesday. Families are encouraged to flex the “when” of each task during the week according to their own rhythms, but everything should be finished by Tuesday morning unless otherwise arranged. If something prevents a student from completing their work, we ask that parents communicate with the teacher ahead of time. This helps us maintain clarity, grace, and shared accountability within our community.

Charlotte Mason believed that time in nature wasn’t just refreshing—it was essential. She wrote, “Never be within doors when you can rightly be without,” and encouraged children to spend hours outdoors each day—not just playing, but observing, wondering, and building a lifelong relationship with the natural world. At The Grove, we carry that heart into our Family Nature Study—a simple, seasonal rhythm that helps families slow down, get outside, and pay attention together. Each month includes: multiple types of nature walks, nature journaling ideas, picture book suggestions, and prompts to help mamas and kids grow in wonder together.
