Innocademy has been a huge blessing to our kids and family. The teachers and staff are incredible, and gifted in their work and truly love and cherish our kids. Both of our kids work at their own level, they are challenged when they need it and get extra help discreetly. It creates such a positive environment. Our children look forward to going to school everyday!

Innocademy is a community unto itself. My son loves having the opportunity to learn from teachers, and other children in the daily multi-age group time. And I am so thankful for the just-right learning approach that doesn't force a student to stay in a particular grade curriculum, but allows each student to learn at their own pace. Student/teacher ratio is fabulous and the teacher's dedication is amazing.

Love the focus on global learning, multi-age group environment, and oportunities not found in the traditional public school environment. The year round calendar has already made a difference in year to year consistency for our childs learning.

This is a great school that allows the students to work at their own level. My daughter is able to advance in areas she excels in and get extra help in areas that are difficult. The students learn a lot about the whole world rather than just the city they live in. They spend an hour every day learning a foriegn language and the student teacher ratio is fabulous. We couldn't ask for more.

Innocademy has been better than any public school my son has been in. They allow the students to learn at their own pace, provide a very positive/ respectful enviroment to learn, and tap into each students strengths while improving their weaknesses. Innocademy teachers show a sincere devotion to their students. I have finally found the school I have been praying for for years. A school that truely takes in the best intrest of the student and not the 'system'.

About the tests


In 2012-2013 Michigan used the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in math, reading and writing; in grades 5 and 8 in science; and in grades 6 and 9 in social studies. The MEAP is a standards-based test, which measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Michigan. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.

Beginning in the 2011-2012 school year, the Michigan State Board of Education implemented new definitions of what it means to be proficient on the MEAP test. The new standards for proficiency are higher than in previous years and the percent of students earning a proficient score is expected to be lower as a result of this change.
