What Bal Swan Demonstration School does

Mission

A school where students can investigate, collaborate, and thrive. We are a place of radical acceptance of the things that make us unique, and we want students to feel essential to their learning community. Grove is meant to be a special place where students and families feel welcome, connected, cared about, and known.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

Program

  1. Grove is a multi-sensory, multimodal workshop approach to inclusive education. Groves responsive model prioritizes the importance of social and emotional learning and highlights the benefits of engaging students through various sensesvisual, auditory, kinesthetic, tactile, olfactory, and gustatoryto create a rich and accessible learning experience for every student. At Grove, we design learning to include a combination of different sensory inputs and methods to enhance the student learning process. Our approach goes beyond traditional methods to create an enriching, engaging experience that caters to a broader range of learning styles and needs, with a focus on those with multiple learning needs, sensitivities, and abilities. The educators at Grove Elementary intentionally design learning to be accessible for all through Universal Design principles, so students can self-advocate, investigate, collaborate, and THRIVE!
