From the Principal
“Every child who walks through our doors becomes part of the Grove Hill family. We build readers, thinkers, and citizens—one school year at a time.”
The Courtyard Garden
We Plant More
Than Seeds.
From Pre-K through Grade 5, every Grove Hill student tends a real garden in our Cauldwell Avenue courtyard. They plant in spring, harvest in fall, and discover that patience is a skill, soil is a teacher, and hard work yields something you can hold in your hands.

Fall Harvest
Lactuca & Raphanus
Lettuce & Radish

Arts & Programs
Partnership Program · Annual
The New York City Ballet comes to Grove Hill.
Every year, our 3rd grade classes participate in the NYC Ballet’s arts education program—culminating in a trip to see The Nutcracker performed live at Lincoln Center. For many of our students, it is their first time in that hall. It is never their last time being moved by music.
“Jazz, tap, and ballet are woven into social studies lessons throughout the year.”
