Gold Groves Academy changes the world with your support
please donate
Together we can build Gold Groves Academy and start growing the next greatest generation.
volunteer your time
global game changers
The next greatest generation deserves to see, to hear, to feel what greatness looks like. Children deserve to be in the presence of iconic leaders. You don’t need to be on the faculty. Just show up for a day once a year. (Full disclosure: you might get so much out of it, you’ll insist on showing up often!)
Business, sports, agriculture…there are so many stages on which iconic leadership emerges. All our welcome.
Pictured: the iconic Steve Jobs. We chose to use Steve’s photo – who passed on in 2011 – as a reminder that tomorrow is never promised, and the world deserves the gift of your wisdom today.

luxury builders
The flagship Gold Groves will be built on 1900 breathtaking acres overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Santa Barbara, California. This property is available for sale, and is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Called Eagle Canyon Ranch, it feels like a separate world, and yet is within a stone’s throw of The Ritz-Carlton, and just miles from the Santa Barbara Airport.
Gold Groves will emerge on this land with the help of a luxury estate builder. After the flagship is built, we will be bringing Gold Groves to geniuses everywhere. If you know of ideal land, please contact us.
share your artistry
master artisans
Our children will be taught by the best master artisans in the world: chefs, sculptors, carpenters, writers, etc. These people are not faculty. They are generously donating their time for a day or two each year, interacting in their environment whenever possible. (Meaning, a chef will be sharing knowledge in our onsite commercial kitchen; a sculptor will be holding court in our onsite art studio, etc.) After all, no one learned to swim with a correspondence course! One must get into the pool.
Each Gold Groves Academy focuses on hands-on real learning through doing.
