Grow Public Schools operates a network of TK–8 public charter schools in Kern County, California, with a focus on college preparation. Guided by a home office in Bakersfield, the organization was founded in August 2011 by the Grimm Family Education Foundation to advance educational equity and integrate wellness as a foundation for student success. Its stated aim is to close the rural Kern County achievement gap by fostering environments that emphasize both academic excellence and student well-being. The network serves families seeking charter options for TK–8 in the region. A recent development is a partnership with Learning Forward, through which Grow Academy Arvin and Grow Academy Shafter joined Learning Forward's CBPL Network launched in 2025.
