GRAND RAPIDS, MI – When Kent Innovation High School opened its doors in 2011, school leaders had set out to offer students an instructional model gaining in popularity - project-based learning.
The high school, which serves students from districts throughout Kent County, embraced a teaching approach where students learned by actively engaging in real-word projects. They gained knowledge and skills by working collaboratively to investigate and respond to a question, problem, or challenge.
