 Welcome

      Located  in the city limits of Richmond near the University of Richmond, we offer a unique bi-lingual alternative learning environment focusing on the visual and performing arts, experiential learning, and a connection to nature.  At Heartwood Grove students learn in a nurturing, non-stressful, collaborative environment in multi-aged classrooms. 

We are a Partner of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.




 

Mission Statement

        Our mission is to cultivate open minded, intellectually curious critical thinkers, global citizens and engaged learners through immersion into the cultures, languages, histories, religions, literatures, cuisines, music and art of the world.  We aim to develop students who are highly proficient in a second language through immersion, have a good understanding of a third chosen language, and who share a profound appreciation for the arts.

        More than a French immersion school, we are a global immersion school. We aim to nurture the mind, body, and spirit of each child through outdoor science, dance, music, the fine arts, and stewardship in the local community, while promoting self discovery in each student as (s)he grows, cherishing and promoting the journey of childhood.
