Hands-on.

Nature Based.

Community Focused.

At River Grove, students enjoy daily hands-on nature based learning. We utilize the forest as our canvas to unlock our students understand of the world around them. Our surroundings influence our curriculum and inspire the next generation of environmentally appreciative community leaders.

Our Story

Founded in 2017, River Grove is committed to providing an exceptional place-based and outdoor learning experience for families in the St. Croix Valley.

Students at River Grove enjoy daily, meaningful interactions with nature in our amazing forest campus setting.

In addition, students also enjoy visits to our neighboring 800-acre Manitou Environmental Learning Center, along with field trips, guest speakers and special programs led by a variety of experts.

  • At River Grove, our goal is to get the students outside and engaged with our beautiful setting multiple hours of the day! More time is spent outdoors during the warmer months of the year, but even during winter, dedicated time outside is part of the daily schedule.

  • No! River Grove is a tuition-free public charter school!

  • We are a public school. All students who reside in MN are eligible to attend. Space is limited to classroom capacity.
