Lighthouse Academy

Kentwood Public Schools is dedicated to fostering excellence and equity in education, serving a diverse student body that includes individuals with unique learning needs. The district's core mission is to create an inclusive environment where every child, regardless of their background or challenges, can thrive academically and socially. With programs tailored for students ranging from early childhood through high school, the schools support those with various diagnoses, including language-based learning disabilities and twice-exceptional learners. The educational approach emphasizes whole-child development, integrating social, emotional, physical, and mental wellness into the curriculum. This commitment is reflected in the low student-teacher ratios, which ensure personalized attention and support for each student. Additionally, Kentwood Public Schools actively engages families as partners in education, fostering strong relationships that enhance the learning experience. Unique community events and initiatives further enrich the school environment, making it a vibrant place for students to grow and succeed.
