IN COLLABORATION WITH GRAND RAPIDS COMMUNITY COLLEGE, EAST KENTWOOD HIGH SCHOOL WILL BE OFFERING A MIDDLE COLLEGE PROGRAM.  

The East Kentwood Middle College (EKMC) is a unique educational opportunity that will allow students to graduate with a high school diploma, transferable college credits and an Associate of Arts degree starting in 10th grade. An Associate of Arts degree consists of general studies type courses; it is not an art degree. The EKMC is designed to prepare students for postsecondary study and/or employment starting in high school. 

Free College Credit for those who qualify!

1. Speak with your high school counselor to confirm your eligibility.  Must have a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA.  Please Note - Some colleges/universities may have a higher GPA requirement.
