The Programme           

The Grove offers a learning programme over 15.75 hours per week, offering theme-based experiential learning, similar to a Waldorf main lesson curriculum, in a wide range of topics carefully selected according to the developmental stage and needs of the group. Our programme also offers specialist sessions in movement, land and the arts (music, handwork, art and drama). Our older students work towards Crossfields Institute qualifications in Integrative Education, recognised by colleges and universities - for more information click here.

The rest of the week is open to each family and child or young person to follow their own individual learning journey, unique to their interests, capacities and aspirations.

Our programme incorporates:

• Fostering a love for learning, within a whole community of learners

• Innovative, integrative land orientated curriculum which honours nature’s seasonal cycles

• Inspiration from the Waldorf curriculum; head, heart and hands

• Engagement in inner and outer work

• Breathing in and out – stillness and movement
