Montcalm School Launches Redesigned Website

Montcalm School, a private, therapeutic boarding school for boys and girls located in Albion, Mich., is excited to announce the launch of its newly redesigned website.

With the growth of Montcalm School and the sophistication of its programs, a powerful web presence is essential to continued success and future development.

Assisting Montcalm in the construction and ongoing maintenance of the new site is Masterworks, a multi-service agency from the Seattle area dedicated to helping nonprofits expand their visibility.

Using Masterworks' expertise in web design, the creation of compelling copy, search engine optimization and many other key areas, Montcalm is hoping to convey how its programs can benefit children and families in crisis across the country and around the world.

"We are thrilled about the new website," said Kelley Jones, Director of Montcalm School. "This new web presence better reflects the breadth of Montcalm's programs and is a great representation of our school. The site is beautiful, but more importantly, it's very functional. Current parents, potential parents, professionals and anyone else who views the site will find that its navigation and ease of use are tremendous. We are excited about what this tool can do for Montcalm going forward."

Some features of the website include a 360 degree virtual tour of Montcalm's campus, which was created by Vision Quest Virtual Tours, sections for parents and professionals, a page of articles and learning resources, and background information about the staff who work with Montcalm students.

Another key component of Montcalm's programs stressed on the website is the college preparatory curriculum offered at the school. Included on the home page is a map of where Montcalm alumni have attended colleges and universities across the United States.

Also, information is available on the college prep page that discusses advanced placement courses offered at Montcalm, as well as scholarship information for Montcalm alumni. After graduating and leaving Montcalm, students can apply to receive financial assistance for post-secondary education.

"This site launch is coinciding with a great deal of growth at Montcalm, including a new program for girls with autism spectrum disorders," Jones said. "But the process has just begun. A continued dedication to improving Montcalm and its website is critical to our long-term success. We have and will continue to work diligently to ensure that visitors to our site have a remarkable experience and learn what makes Montcalm such a wonderful place."
