Middle College Information
Cedar Springs Middle College (CSMC) is a community of students that are relational and innovative. As a small school within a school, CSEMC provides world-class education in a personal supportive atmosphere to prepare students for further college and/or career opportunities upon completion. We assess every student who enrolls and move them toward earning a high school diploma and college credits. Sharing space with Cedar Springs High School, CSEMC’s goal is to make college courses available and free to those who are ready to begin college-level course work. We offer GRCC college-level courses on campus for our students as part of the normal school day. These courses are taken with high school students initially. What we don’t offer here can be taken at the downtown GRCC campus. The end result is that students can leave the CSMC program with both a high school and a college transcript in hand, knowing they have been equipped for post-secondary success.
