River Grove school programming is currently happening full time at the Forest Property located at 14189 Ostlund Trail N, Marine on St Croix (our original school campus from 2017-2023).
In early February, students will move to the Manitou Education and Arts Center building in Stillwater for the remainder of the school year while much-needed maintenance and upgrades to the forest buildings are completed. Our current timeline is as follows:
- Thursday, February 1 and Friday, February 2, 2024 will be Non-School Teacher Transition Days. Childcare will be provided at the Forest location during these days.
- Saturday, February 3 (tentative) will be an Open House for for all River Grove students and families to tour the new Manitou Fund Education and Arts Center (MFEAC) in Stillwater
- Monday, February 5, 2024 – School programming will begin at the Stillwater site and will continue at that location for the remainder of the 23-24 school year.
The future of River Grove is very bright thanks to Manitou Fund’s incredible commitment to our school. We are also powered by and grateful for the continued and unwavering encouragement, patience and resiliency of our families and staff. Thank you for your support as we enter the final phase of securing an incredible long-term home in the forest!
