Western Toledo Preparatory Academy expands to Spring Meadows new satellite campus; now enrolling EK-8
Teachers and staff at Western Toledo Preparatory Academy kicked off a new school year on two campuses this year. The school originally opened on Hill Avenue two years ago and quickly became one of the best public schools in the state, ranking in the top 25 percent of Ohio charter schools.
In response to enrollment demand for the uniquely integrated academic and athletic program, WTPA administrators opened the Spring Meadows campus in August. The new satellite campus is located on Timberwolf Drive, in the former site of iLEAD, a K-8 community school that closed this past spring.
Western Toledo Preparatory Academy at Spring Meadows has opened enrollment for students in Early Kindergarten (turning five years old before January 1st) through Grade 8. The new campus offers a well-rounded education with an emphasis on STEM learning.
Offering variety and school choice to Holland families, the Spring Meadows campus features an open-plan classroom environment that provides students opportunities for creativity, collaboration, and teamwork. Classrooms are sectioned by partitions and furnishings to create interactive learning spaces. An impressive STEM Lab is outfitted with Mac computers, robotics, and 3-D printing.
“We’re excited about the future of our school and look forward to offering families a welcoming, well-rounded education where each child matters,” says Principal Kechan Johnson. An experienced educator who has been instrumental in the launch of the new school, Johnson says, “We’re building on the academic strengths of Western Toledo Preparatory Academy while developing a unique identity with STEM activities and a 21st-century learning approach. As a charter school, we have the flexibility to structure a program that best suits the needs of our students and families. We welcome partnerships from the community and involvement from parents as WTPA Spring Meadows grows into a thriving school community.”
Western Toledo Preparatory Academy at Spring Meadows is still accepting students in Early Kindergarten through Grade 8 for the Fall term. Families interested in learning more can visit westerntoledosm.org/request-information.
