Spring Grove is a community-based school who creates real world, authentic learning experiences by creating partnerships within the community for students to learn, share, and grow. This has been part of the history of Spring Grove over time, and is still expanding in influence.

Students, staff, parents, and community members in Spring Grove are design team members who guide our transformational practices through feedback, discussion, prototype analysis, and creative cycles. Students and stakeholders work together to inform and work alongside educators and leaders to ensure a system who is responsive to the people’s needs. The culture of our school is respectful, hard working, trustworthy, and rigorous as we work toward deeper and authentic learning experiences. 

Our Student-Centered Network Students holds positions of leadership in making decisions about building upgrades, schedules, flexibilities of the system, career and college ready programming, and student wellness and belonging supports. They create activities, pursue feedback, and improve programming. They also serve as spokespeople for Spring Grove’s work as they attend state and national events around student-centered Learning.
