Kindling young hearts and minds for a lifetime of joyful learning.

At Grymes, curious students discover the spark that leads to lives of purpose, growth, and contribution.

Close-knit and child-first, Grymes is a co-ed, Junior Kindergarten through eighth grade independent day school where academic challenge and strong community values intersect within a nurturing, whole-child philosophy. Gifted faculty and staff, small classes, and a rural campus create a special place for children to do what they were born to do: explore, discover, create, work, and grow in their own ways, knowing that they are seen, known, and loved at every turn.

Academics

The Grymes experience is grounded in a vibrant academic program that builds on each child’s innate desire to learn about their world. Small classes and personal attention ensure students are known and supported as they master the knowledge, skills, and habits to excel in high school, college, and beyond.

Arts

Imagination and self-expression are daily practices at Grymes. All students pursue visual arts, music, and drama to develop the skills of creative thinking and presentation, preparing them with the confidence and competence to continually explore and contribute their talents as they grow.

Athletics

Physical health, teamwork, and sportsmanship are foundational to a Grymes education. All students participate in daily physical education classes, and upper schoolers have the opportunity to play on eight interscholastic athletic teams regardless of ability.

From the moment children walk through our doors, we love them like our own.

Our faculty and staff have devoted their lives to educating children. They are passionate teachers and coaches, caring mentors, and energetic fellow learners who naturally model curiosity, determination, and generosity to every Grymes student.
