Kindergarten at West Michigan Academy of Environmental Science is the beginning of a joyful learning journey rooted in exploration, academics, and nature. Our program blends high-quality instruction with daily opportunities to learn through hands-on discovery.
From reading and math foundations to environmental science and specials classes, students build the skills, confidence, and curiosity needed for long-term success.

Daily instruction in reading, writing, math, and social studies
Nature-integrated lessons that bring learning to life
Specials including Spanish, art, physical education, and computer technology
Hands-on, child-centered learning across our 62-acre campus
Our goal is to provide an environment where every child feels confident, curious, and excited to come to school each day.
