About
Our Philosophy
As an emerging professional learning community, The Dearborn Academy is dedicated to taking a proactive stance in the education of its students. The academy places a strong emphasis on the end result, focusing on the intellectual growth of every student under its care. This commitment is reflected in the carefully designed integrated and
cross-disciplinary learning experiences that challenge students to apply and develop their conceptual understanding of academic content while also fostering social development.
At The Dearborn Academy, students are encouraged to engage in higher-level thinking and problem-solving skills as part of their daily learning experiences. This approach cultivates a mindset of active participation and critical inquiry, empowering students to become independent and resourceful learners. Moreover, the academy recognizes the importance of timely interventions when students face challenges in their learning journey. Through systematic and proactive measures, interventions are applied to prevent academic setbacks and ensure that every student receives the support they need to succeed.
The academy holds both students and educators accountable for their roles in the learning process. Students are expected to be active participants in their education, while educators are required to continually assess student learning and respond with appropriate interventions as needed. This collaborative and proactive approach creates a dynamic learning environment where students can thrive academically and develop the skills necessary for lifelong learning and success.
