Biblical Education, Grounded in the Garden
At God Grown Academy, we desire to nurture a generation that views stewardship not just as a responsibility, but as a form of worship
Our Programs
Our classes are thoughtfully divided by grade level, each with its name reflecting the journey of growth from seedling to harvest. Classes may be combined depending on the number of children enrolled.

First to Third Grade
Students build on their curiosity with hands-on farm chores, observing wildlife, and learning the basics of stewardship.
VINES

Growing in knowledge, students engage in more complex tasks like composting, building birdhouses, and understanding local ecosystems.
Branches

Adolescents deepen their skills with projects like greenhouse management and navigating by natural landmarks.
Harvesters

Our oldest students explore advanced topics such as sustainable beekeeping, wildcrafting, food preservation, and herbal medicines.
From seedling to harvest, there’s a place for you in the garden
Curriculum Overview
The Curriculum for our students at God Grown Academy introduces them to God's creation through hands-on, experiential lessons in regenerative farming and Biblical teachings. Specifically designed for each group of students, this curriculum fosters a love for God, His Word, and His world by connecting the cycles of seasons and nature to spiritual growth. Lessons emphasize regenerative farming practices, such as no-till methods, soil health, composting, cover crops, water efficiency, planting, harvesting, preservation, winterizing, healthy ecosystems, biodiversity, beekeeping, and animal husbandry, while weaving in Scripture to highlight character qualities like patience, kindness, and gratitude. Through classroom lessons, storytelling, garden activities, and nature exploration, students discover that every leaf, lesson, and life holds a place in God's redemptive story.
