Lifelong Learners
Josh Keller | August 4, 2010 | Comments (3)
Here at The Grove School, we believe in educating your children not just for 10 months each year, but for a lifetime. As a current student, I can definitely relate to this.
From a young age, I can remember my first days in school. I was enthusiastic to show up every day, and my teachers inspired me to be like them. As I grew older, my teachers proved to be an even bigger part in my life. In middle school, we were all taught to ask for their help if we needed it, a strange, yet big step for us teenagers. We became more independent, yet the teachers were still there for us. They taught us about high school, what to expect, the future, and prepared us for a lifelong journey.
As soon as high school rolled around, there was no messing around; this was the real deal. I took what I learned from middle school and used it to the best of my ability for this new experience. My teachers played an even bigger role in our school work (and our lives). I established relationships with them outside of the class room. I always had a favorite teacher each year (not to say that all of them weren’t my favorite)! I could see the relationships of the students to the teachers was getting stronger in high school. Students would talk after class, laugh with the teachers, even sit and have lunch with them. Most importantly, they prepared me for a college experience and instilled a sense of a lifelong learning experience for me.
Now that I am an incoming sophomore in college, the bond between student (and now professor) is still strong. Being on my own is a wonderful experience, although tough at times. Being in college has taught me to be independent and to look for help when I need it. The professors play a big role in the student’s lives, and no where else but college is the lifelong journey more present. After college, anything is possible. Medical school, Law school, a career, a job, anything. The professors have taught me, and will continue to teach me, valuable life lessons that will help me further down the road, and prepare me to be a lifelong learner.

My Experience With The Grove School
Josh Keller | June 11, 2010 | Comment
Hey there everybody! My name’s Josh Keller, and I am a new intern/temporary employee here at Knowledge Universe. I work specifically with The Grove School as the Community Administrator, managing the social media and website of the school. I’ve only been here about a week and a half, and I already love it here! Everyone is extremely welcoming, light-hearted, energetic, and enthusiastic about what they do. I thought it would be appropriate to write a post about my experience here with The Grove School and to tell you all a little bit about myself.
I’m a 19 year old soon-to-be sophomore at the University of Portland. I plan to major in Marketing and Advertising, but for now, I am currently in the Pamplin School of Business. I attended All Saints grade school and graduated in 2005, then went to Central Catholic High School, graduating as the class of 2009. I enjoy playing basketball, the occasional video game, going to the gym, working with computers and technology, and hanging around my family.
I feel extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to work at KU and with The Grove School. I love what The Grove School is doing for kids; encouraging a healthy mind, body, and planet. My employment here so far has been filled with excitement and anticipation of what’s to come. I am super excited to be on board with the school and cannot wait to get more involved. Thank you all for this wonderful opportunity!
