High School

At Kentwood, "We Prepare Children for Life" isn’t just a motto—it guides everything we do. Our high school departs from traditional models, focusing on building real-world skills for success in college and life.

Essential Life Skills We Teach

Students build practical habits like:

Time and project management
Study discipline and organization
Budgeting, planning, and household skills
Prioritizing responsibilities and asking for help
Balancing academic and social life
Self-motivation and decision-making

Without these foundational skills, academic knowledge alone isn’t enough for success.
