All community residents and business people are welcomed and encouraged to share their interests and expertise with the schools. The District also offers a variety of leisure and academic courses for adults and children, one of the most comprehensive community education programs in West Michigan. The private and parochial school systems are built for and dedicated to the purpose of educating children in a positively Christian way. They provide a high standard of education with a strong curriculum and carry through with firm and loving discipline that promotes spiritual growth and direction in life. The Career-Tech Center serves 11th and 12th grade students from the twelve area high schools.
Students attend a half-day session to pursue specific career interest.
The programs provide a broad base of knowledge and skills that can be transferable to many occupations. The academic subjects relate to the real world and prepare students for work or college. All credits earned apply toward high school graduation and often college credit is obtained. Personal counseling and job placement services are also provided to students. Baker College of Fremont is a satellite campus of Baker College of Muskegon.
