Curriculum
At Grove Academy, we understand that the formative years of a child's education are critical in shaping their future. Our goal is to cultivate a holistic approach to learning, emphasizing not only academic achievement but also the development of essential life skills. Through a rich tapestry of engaging activities, hands-on experiences, and culturally diverse perspectives, we aspire to instill in our students a profound sense of curiosity, empathy, and a genuine appreciation for the world around them.

Grove Academy is a Candidate School* for the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that Grove Academy believes is important for our students.
*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), The Diploma Programme, or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit www.ibo.org
Our curriculum units are created using the Florida Early Learning and Developmental Standards. These standards are organized by age and provide a developmentally appropriate guide for educators and families.
At Grove Academy, we celebrate diversity and embrace the richness it brings to our learning community. Our commitment to global-mindedness is reflected not only in the curriculum but also in our efforts to create an inclusive environment that respects and values every individual. We believe that by fostering an early appreciation for cultural differences, we can contribute to the development of open-minded and well-rounded individuals who are prepared to navigate an interconnected world.
