History
The Kentwood program, founded in 1999, is a fully accredited day school developed for a population of potentially average to bright children who were not experiencing success in traditional school settings. School environments were either too expansive in their approach - causing students to be overwhelmed, confused and unable to cope effectively; or they were too restrictive - placing students in environments with children with far more severe social, emotional or behavioral problems. In addition, these children were not experiencing difficulties exclusive to their school/learning setting. Rather, they were having difficulties that extended into many areas of their life; including home, social, emotional and/or academic. Some of these students have been diagnosed with ADHD, Aspergers and related diagnoses. Many of these students do not have a diagnosis at all; they simply perform better in a smaller, safer and more consistent atmosphere.
