Grove Elementary School

What Grove Elementary School does

Grove Elementary School is a public charter school being established in Broomfield, Colorado, with a planned operational opening in fall 2025 serving pre-K through 2nd grade initially and a stated intention to expand to full K-5 enrollment over time. It is organized as a non-profit 501(c)(3) entity (EIN 93-4460153) and operates tuition-free as a school of choice accountable to its authorizer (either the local school district or the Colorado Charter School Institute) and to the state. The school's go-to-market is community-driven: parents must submit Intent to Enroll forms (available in English and Spanish) and the school also collects Community Supporter forms to demonstrate demand and build the support base required for charter approval and continued operation. Outreach is conducted via email ([email protected] and [email protected]) and community meetings, with the website functioning as the primary information and lead-capture surface.

The school's core educational offering integrates four pedagogical components: (1) a Social and Emotional Learning curriculum built on Responsive Classroom with the Fly Five extension, aligned to CASEL competencies; (2) Personalized Learning Pathways (PLPs) developed collaboratively with families and students at the start of each school year; (3) a Workshop Model that maximizes student practice and exploration time while minimizing teacher lecture; and (4) a multi-sensory, multimodal instructional approach using visual, auditory, kinesthetic, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory inputs, embedded in Universal Design principles to make learning accessible for students with diverse needs. Assessment is conducted through a digital portfolio body of evidence rather than relying solely on state-mandated CMAS and PSAT/SAT standardized tests.

Grove's revenue model is non-commercial: as a Colorado charter school, it receives state funding through Per Pupil Operating Revenue (PPR) based on each enrolled student, with the charter authorizer permitted to retain up to 5% for documented central administrative costs. The school also solicits tax-deductible donations. It is currently co-located at Bal Swan, 1145 E 13th Ave, Broomfield, CO 80020, and is in pre-operational/pre-launch status.
