History

The school building was bought by PrepNet in between 2009 and early 2010. The school originally was used as a Christian elementary known by the name of "Creston Christian Elementary School" due to the former school merging with another Christian school in the area. The school was later remodeled to meet the capacity of a High School and opened its doors in fall of 2010.[3]

In late 2017, the U.S. News & World Report ranked Wellspring Prep as the number one in the State of Michigan in its list of top schools for that year.[4][5]

PrepNet has since merged with National Heritage Academies in late 2020. Wellspring Prep is now owned operated by National Heritage Academies, which has its office also located in Grand Rapids.
