Welcome To Ferry Elementary School

Welcome to the Ferry School Web Site. Ferry School sits in the heart of Eastown, a section of East Grand Haven. Ferry is a community school involved in many activities with the surrounding community. Those activities include Fallfest, visiting senior citizens, cleaning East End Park, and raising money for local food banks.

A full range of student support technology and services including audio enhanced classrooms, computers and smart boards, reading assistance, speech and language, and special education services are provided at Ferry. In addition, the district Voyager School, a multi-age Reggio Inspired School, is housed at Ferry. Classroom learning through creative use of textbooks, technology-assisted learning, and hands-on experiences meets the individual needs of all children. The Ferry School and Voyager School  staff provide exceptional curriculum opportunities in reading, writing, science, mathematics, social studies, physical education, and the performing and visual arts. Ferry School is the recipient of the 2002 Golden Apple Award from the State of Michigan. This award was presented to Ferry for its high MEAP assessment scores, its outstanding programs and parent involvement.

After-school enrichment in arts, athletics, and academic competitions provide additional learning experiences for our students. Grand Haven Area Public Schools and Ferry Elementary are outstanding educational systems in the excellence of programs and facilities, and in the quality of teaching and administrative personnel.
