Scholars take core content classes and additional elective courses in which they may be interested. Elective courses offered can vary by high school. When selecting electives, every scholar should keep in mind his/her goal of college or other post-secondary training.
Or a scholar may opt to attend one of the citywide high school programs:
- Innovation Central High School
- City High/Middle School
- Grand Rapids Montessori High School
- Grand Rapids University Prep Academy
- CA Frost Environmental Science Academy
- Grand Rapids Public Museum School
- Ottawa Hills High School
Each of these schools meets the State and GRPS graduation requirements. With each school’s unique offerings, there may be additional courses required as part of their particular curriculum requirements. Each school program is challenging and engages the scholar in the core and elective content from the theme perspective.
