The Greenspire School

Located at 1026 Red Drive in Traverse City, Michigan, The Greenspire School is an active public independent charter district providing a specialized learning environment within a small suburban setting. Serving secondary students from sixth through twelfth grade, the district operates two operational schools tailored to support learners through their middle and high school years. As an independent charter entity functioning as its own local education agency for federal programs, Greenspire delivers an accessible, community-focused educational pathway for families across the greater Traverse City metropolitan area.

The district fosters an intimate academic community, serving a total student body of 269 learners, balanced between 138 female and 131 male students. With grade-level enrollments ranging from 25 students in the sixth grade to 50 in the ninth grade, the district prioritizes small-scale learning environments supported by a robust professional team. Greenspire employs a total staff of over 61 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions, including 38 FTE classroom teachers, 2 FTE instructional aides, and more than 21 FTE support staff members. This generous staffing structure yields an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of roughly 7 to 1, allowing for highly individualized instruction, strong mentorship, and dedicated support for every student.
