School structure and campuses

The Grove School was founded in 1999. The high school (grades ten to twelve) sits on the campus of Montessori in Redlands. The Farm or middle school campus (grades 7–9) was founded in 2003 and is a working farm, run by students. The classrooms are housed in the old farmhouse and associated outbuildings.

The land, part of the Heritage Park Historical District in Redlands, includes facilities for small livestock and basic agricultural crops.

The Farm campus includes historic Barton School House. Built in 1901, it is one of the oldest buildings in Redlands.

It was moved from its original location, Alabama Street, to Heritage Park on the Farm School campus.

Ninth grade farm students are slowly incorporated into the high school community over the course of the year.
