Funded by a $200,000 Improving Teacher Quality Grant from the Michigan Department of Education, Calvin College education professor John Walcott and english professors Elizabeth Vander Lei and Dean Ward will work for a year-and-a-half with teachers from Lighthouse Academy and another area school, The Potter's House Christian School.
“The schools we’re working with want to improve their students’ writing, and we want to work with them so that their students are better writers, more effective writers and more willing writers,” Walcott said.

This fall, Lighthouse Academy (LA) will be opening a new site to service students on the North side of Grand Rapids. This is an exciting opportunity to help a population of at-risk students that Lighthouse has been unable to reach before. Since Lighthouse opened its doors 7 years ago, several agencies located on the North end of town have expressed the need for an education model like Lighthouse to be available and located closer to their clients.
