Students deserve an education that respects their unique contribution to building our society. They are not seeking an education as a means to get out of Detroit; they see their education as a means to make Detroit a wonderful place to live.
"Today, we need to combine learning with work, political struggle, community service, and even play." - Grace Lee Boggs; Mural by Katie Yamasaki
Urban gardening is more than just planting a seed and watching it grow; it’s about growing communities, training new leaders, feeding the hungry and homeless, establishing farmers markets and working with youths and adults through gardening.
Community Conversations allow our team to understand the ideas and desires of the community while also giving the community a chance to have a voice in our school's design.
Grace Lee and James Boggs
The Rosa Parks Youth Violinists remind us of the creative power and work ethic within our children.
Who are the teachers and who are the learners?
