Partnerships with local universities and community organizations, such as the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra CONNECT Program, enable us to offer many rich educational experiences. Learn more...

Groveland Tours

Groveland is pleased to offer virtual tours at a variety of times for our prospective families beginning in mid-November. Current parents and/or Principal Lightner will give an overview of the great things Groveland has to offer and share what it means to be a part of our learning community.

Please sign up for our Virtual Tours and/or potential In-Person Tours here.

We look forward to meeting you!

The fine arts are important at Groveland! Each grade level enjoys a different art enrichment during the school year. Some examples this year will include the MacPhail Center for Music for PreK, ArtiCulture for grade K, COMPAS Artist Shakun Mehashwari for grades 1-2, Musician Ross Sutter for grade 3, a COMPAS Residency for grade 4 and Northern Clay and African Drumming with Brother Ghana for grade 5. Minnesota art standards are incorporated into the experiences. Each of the art experiences have been made possible through the genrousity of the Groveland community. The PTO has worked to provide each grade level with special opportunities.
