Located on the grounds of The Henry Ford, this innovative charter school opened in the fall of 1997. Henry Ford Academy is the nation's first charter school developed jointly by a global corporation, public education and a major nonprofit cultural institution.

Conceived, developed, and implemented in cooperation with Ford Motor Company and The Henry Ford, and chartered by Wayne County's Regional Educational Service Agency, this model partnership focuses some of the best thinking from the business, non-profit , and public education worlds toward the common goal of building a school that will prepare students for life in the 21st century.
