About
Our Leadership team
The Dearborn Academy, in collaboration with the community, parents, and board members, believes that all students can achieve academic success. Our district is a Pre-K through 8th Grade school that is uniquely enriched by the significant diversity within the population. We believe that our district’s responsibility is to provide a quality education enabling students to progress toward their maximum potential. We differentiate instruction to support students’ academic, social, and personal successes.
The Dearborn Academy follows the core curriculum standards and benchmarks established by the State of Michigan including the study of the Arabic and Spanish languages. Our school offers many special programs and services such as: an English Language Learner program, reading and Math support, STEM classes, physical education, art education, after school program, special education and speech services, including an on-site social worker, school counselor and school psychologist. In addition, extra-curricular activities include a complete athletics program, intramural sports program, Student Lighthouse, and community outreach programs.
We are proud to be redefining urban education so that all students achieve academic excellence and social responsibility. Support from the community and families is highly encouraged and welcomed. Please feel free to contact the office or stop in for a visit. It would be our pleasure to share our educational programs and facilities with you. We look forward to seeing you in the near future!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Melissa Lathrup
