For Schools & Educators

You chose to teach outside.

Your tools should too.

Your teachers are outdoors all day — hands in the mud, eyes on the children. And yet you're expected to document every learning moment, communicate with families, manage permission forms, and coordinate field trips through tools designed for someone sitting at a desk.

Grove was designed around one question: what would a school platform look like if it was built for communities that learn in forests, fields, and streams?

Teachers stay present. Grove handles the rest.

Built Around Your Day

Six ways Grove changes everything

1

Works offline

Capture photos, voice notes, and observations with no signal. Syncs when you reconnect.

2

30-second capture

Snap a photo, add a voice note, tag the child. AI drafts the observation. Review it at lunch.

3

Monthly keepsakes

Beautifully curated records of each child's journey — built as you go, not at year-end.

4

Community, not chaos

Replace WhatsApp, email newsletters, and pickup announcements. Structured channels keep every message in the right place.

5

Privacy that's real

Every school gets its own isolated database. No advertising. No data sold. Photos expire after curation. Canadian servers, under your control.

6

No personal numbers

Teachers never share personal phone numbers again. All communication happens in-app with visible response-time expectations.

Your School, In One Place

You're running your school

on seven different apps.

WhatsApp for parent messages. Email for the newsletter. Google Calendar for events. A spreadsheet for attendance. A paper sign-up sheet for volunteers. A personal phone number that parents text at 9pm. Sound familiar?

“One app. One login. Every message in the right place. Parents always know where to look.”

Privacy & Compliance

Every school is its own grove.

When your school joins Grove, your families' information is kept completely separate from every other school — not just by a password, but by design.

Per-school data isolation

Your data lives in its own private database. No other school can ever access your information — not by accident, not by breach, not by design.

Canadian servers only

All data stored on Canadian servers, governed by PIPEDA. Nothing crosses a border.

Content expires

Photos expire after curation. Messages removed after 24 months. Your data doesn't live forever on someone else's server.

No ads. No data sales.

Grove is not an advertising platform. No third-party trackers, no behavioural analytics, no data monetisation.

AI stays on your servers

No child's photo is sent to a third-party API. AI inference runs on infrastructure you control.

Full data portability

Export everything at any time. Your keepsakes belong to your families. Nothing is held hostage.

“Your children's data belongs to your school, not to a technology company.”
