Welcome to Marula Grove Academy

Nestled beneath dappled mopane and fever trees on the edge of a coastal savanna, Marula Grove Academy is Mozambique’s premiere nature-immersive learning community. Here, students grow both academically and personally through a curriculum that blends rigorous inquiry with real-world exploration of the rich ecosystems all around us.

Our Philosophy

We believe that meaningful education happens when mind, body and environment converge. By using the bushland and waterways as our living classroom, we cultivate curiosity, resilience and a lifelong sense of stewardship. Every lesson is an invitation to discover the interconnectedness of science, culture and conservation.

Academic Programs

  • Environmental Sciences & Ecology
    Hands-on fieldwork in our on-campus wetlands helps students study local flora and fauna, conduct water-quality experiments and develop solutions for sustainable land use.

  • Bilingual Curriculum
    English and Portuguese immersion ensures linguistic confidence, while regional languages and cultural studies honor Mozambique’s diverse heritage.

  • STEAM & Innovation Labs
    Our open-air maker-space, 3D-printing studio and robotics pavilion encourage creative problem-solving and future-ready skills.

Campus & Facilities

  • Open-Air Classrooms
    Shaded pavilions and amphitheaters under ancient tree canopies invite lessons in geometry, poetry or music to unfold beneath the sky.

  • Eco-Library & Learning Commons
    With thermal-mass walls, cross-ventilation and solar day-lighting, our library is as sustainable as it is inspiring—stocked with local and global texts on ecology, art and technology.

  • Adventure Trails & Farmstead
    Winding nature trails link classrooms to our permaculture farm, wetlands observatory and insectarium, so students learn in rhythm with the seasons.

Sustainability in Action

  • Passive Climate Design
    Deep eaves, wind-catching towers and rammed-earth walls keep interiors cool without heavy reliance on AC.

  • Rainwater Harvesting & Greywater Reuse
    Every drop collected on our rooftop goes to irrigation, while treated greywater nourishes orchard plantings.

  • Solar Pavilion & Microgrid
    A rooftop PV array powers our labs and digital studios, and teaches students about renewable energy management.
