Welcome to our classrooms

Whether it's got four walls, airplanes, snowshoes, chickens or no physical space at all, a charter classroom can take many forms. Most importantly, we teach where our passions thrive. 

History enriched

Located directly within the walls of the prestigous Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation, Henry Ford Academy integrates rich history into daily learning, a far stretch from your average classroom or school.

Traditional class
