Welcome to Kent Innovation High
Creating an Incubator of Innovation for Students & Educators
Kent ISD and our Superintendents have opened an exciting New Tech High School, Kent Innovation High, that is very different from traditional high schools. With a focus on project-based learning and collaboration with both students and teachers, Kent Innovation High will demonstrate some of the best thinking in the country about teaching and learning. Success for all students is a driving goal of this "lab" school, which will serve as a learning laboratory for teachers and administrators who want to innovate back in their own schools.
From the glass walls and integrated presence of technology, to the ongoing teamwork of students and just-in-time facilitated learning, the physical and cultural environment will be designed to:
- Personalize learning for all students
- Increase the relevance of academics to foster student engagement
- Cultivate the student voice so students will "own" their education
Based on a national model out of Napa, California called The New Tech Network , this school will serve as an incubator of innovation for all our schools. Students from all of our districts will attend and their educators will come to learn and innovate.
Enrollment for the 2011-12 school year is closed. Check back in the beginning of the year for information on the 2012-13 school year. For more information, call Tracy Olson at 616.363.8010.
