## 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.

In 2016, the school upgraded their athletic facilities by demolishing their old gymnasium and building a new one. While this was being completed, Wellspring Prep Basketball played their home games at Kuyper College in Grand Rapids. In addition, a new athletic vestibule and entrance was added. The school also expanded the parking lot for students and athletic events. The new facility was opened for use just before the 2016-2017 school year.

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.

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.
