Innovation Central High School

I recommend this school to anyone looking for an intentional education for their child. Open minded staff and administration, a gentle learning environment that pairs perfectly with our parenting style. Each child is honored with where they are at. My son loves it here and I love being part of the school community.

I rate the school a 5/5 its a positive school who deserves to be acknowledged for the strives they are making. The test scores are good I don't understand how it gets a low rating.

All three of my children have either attended or are currently attending. I am so impressed with the welcoming environment, appropriate expectations, and amazing teachers. My children love seeing their old teachers who remember everything about them, many many years later. The other parents at the school are devoted and very welcoming, and invited me into their social events even when I was nervous to do so. I now wish I had been involved sooner. The school was great to adjust all learning needs by having staff available to work independently with both kids who need extra help, and those who are more advanced, so no one is left behind or stagnant in their learning.

This school might not be quiet advanced as others, but the level of respects towards teachers and others it's much better compared to highly qualified schools!!! Children are expected to have fun and enjoy every day and expected to give their best!!They are not expected to be some kind of robot who excels on everything!!!Perfection isn't expected at this school, therefore, children are more at ease and are quiet respectful and friendly!!Staff does their very best to keep children safe and loved by those who have a compassionate heart!!!The secretary is a lovely human being!!!!My girls were referred to City High Middle of school but we preferred to stay due to the level of such caring and compassionate staff!!!We don't want or expect smart children but rather prefer to raise responsible and caring children to make a difference in our community!Thank you MLK!!We pray and hope for a better coming school year 2022-2023 so that we may not be the only family to be happy to part of MLK!!!

It's hard for me to articulate how much this school has meant to our son and family. He attended from 1st grade through 8th grade. It's an incredibly special community of awesome staff, involved and dedicated Board of Trustees, and lovely families. The staff's kids attend there, the Trustees' kids are there, and the grandchildren of founding families too. It's a supportive and loving partnership focused on your child(ren) and their development, not just a letter grade. Montessori education is science-based, time-tested, and around the world (and growing) for good reasons. And Stepping Stones is an authentic Montessori school. We tell everyone we know in West MI to schedule a tour and see how beautiful the rooms are, as they're cared for by the kids; how exceptional, caring and respectful the staff is by modeling grace and courtesy and expecting the same of the kids; and seeing the investment the community is making by expanding to middle school at a beautiful farm in Ada. My son has made lifelong friendships, transitioned well to high school, and now is in college. He is confident in himself, adaptable, eager to learn new things, kind and empathetic. We know that Stepping Stones played a huge role in his development and we will forever be fans and supporters!
