Thank you for your interest in our Schools of Choice program. This program is designed for students residing outside our district boundaries. While the application window for most grades is now closed, we still have a few available kindergarten slots through the Kent ISD Collaborative plan.
 
Please feel free to contact our Schools of Choice Coordinator, Holly Roelofs, either via email or by phone at the number above for more information about these kindergarten seats.
 
Grandville Public Schools has two Schools of Choice plans:
  • The Kent ISD Collaborative Schools of Choice plan is for students who live within a school district in Kent County, including Byron Center, Caledonia, Cedar Springs, Comstock Park, EGR, Forest Hills, Godfrey Lee, Godwin Heights, Grand Rapids, Kelloggsville, Kenowa Hills, Kent City, Kentwood, Lowell, Northview, Rockford, Sparta, Thornapple Kellogg and Wyoming.
  • The 105c plan is for students who live in a contiguous intermediate school district outside Kent County, such as a district in Ottawa (Hudsonville, Jenison, etc.), Allegan, Barry, Ionia, Montcalm, Newaygo or Muskegon Counties.
Applicants who have a sibling attending Grandville Public Schools may be given priority, as it is in the best interest of children to keep their siblings in the same district. A district may refuse to enroll an applicant who has been suspended, expelled or convicted of a felony. We do not guarantee placement at a specific elementary school. Transportation is not provided under either plan.
