GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - An announcement is planned for Monday to unveil a new partnership involving the Grand Rapids Public School district and Amway Corp.
The two are partnering to create the GRPS School of Business, Leadership and Entrepreneurship, district officials say. It's one of four new high schools offered by the district. It will take the campus of Ottawa Hills High School. Students can learn about major aspects of business management, marketing finances and leadership.
"We take the core classes and put it in the real world, to that core curriculum," said John Helmholdt, a spokesperson for GRPS.
The School of Business opened this year starting with ninth grade.
