Is GRS a Good Fit?

Students and families looking for a small school where the student is at the center of his or her own education will find Great River School to be a good place to spend six (or fewer) years.

Do come take a look at an Open House or on a tour if you want to experience a school where:

• you learn, not just from teachers, but from your friends.
• the study of peace and formation of a code of honor and civic competence is an integral part of life.
• teachers and students respect you as an individual.
• independence and inner-discipline are key elements of your education.
• you have the opportunity to learn outside the classroom whether it is in the local library, in downtown St. Paul or in a field where field studies come alive.
• you leave the campus to explore and experience the world around you while camping and cooking with friends.
• you are encouraged to make a difference in the world.

Students at Great River School are expected to:

• act with commitment towards all their classes and activities in which they have chosen to participate.
• commit an average of 2 hours on school nights to homework.
• work with faculty to build the school community.
• interact with others guided by the principle of human-heartedness.

If these resonate with you, come Experience Great River School!
