Ann Arbor Academy
Providing a world class education for students with learning differences and disabilities since 1998.
The mission of Ann Arbor Academy is to allow students with divergent learning styles to thrive in an atmosphere which promotes social and academic confidence and growth.
Ann Arbor Academy is a life changing school for students in grades 4-13 who have learning and social difficulties such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and more. Students who find success are often gifted learners who thrive with a specialized approach that teaches the way they learn best. Our gender inclusive, safe, affirming community celebrates neurodiversity and students' individual stories and identities as they learn how to learn and to reach their potential.
At Ann Arbor Academy we believe that:
Children want to learn
Some brains work differently than others
There are no lazy students, just barriers to learning
Students thrive on success
Success in learning is its own reward
Our students are wonderful, unique, and gifted with the opportunity to see the world a little differently than their peers
Ann Arbor Academy is grateful to the Speckhard-Knight Charitable Foundation, the Allegra C. Ford-Thomas Foundation, the Manat Foundation, and many other donors for their ongoing support of our students and our program.
