The Greenspire School board unanimously approved a lease agreement for space at NMC’s University Center on Jan. 25, clearing the way to host its new high school program in seven University Center classrooms for the 2021-22 academic year. The program is an extension of Greenspire’s existing middle school program at the Grand Traverse Commons. it will initially serve students in grades 9 and 10, and will add grade 11 in year two and grade 12 in year three.
Greenspire is a free public charter school sponsored by Grand Valley State University. Greenspire found the UC’s Boardman Lake location near the expanding TART trail to be a good fit for their environmentally-focused school while they grow their new program and decide whether to build their own facility in the future.
