Henry Ford Academy: School for Creative Studies (HFA: SCS), Detroit's premier art and design school middle/high school, serves students in grades 6-12. HFA: SCS is built on the idea that learning needs to be hands-on, connected to the real world, and should develop not only students' academic knowledge and skills, but also their potential as creative thinkers and innovative problem solvers. As a public school academy all enrolled students attend tuition-free.
Our focus is on engaging our middle and high school students and preparing them for the future through our college preparatory curriculum, career exploration, and real world experiences that focus on innovation and creativity. Through our partnership with the College for Creative Studies, HFA: SCS students are ensured intensive art and design preparation with access to world class instructors, resources and facilities.
HFA: SCS also provides students with:
- Inspiring teachers and other caring role models in an environment that is nurturing, safe and secure
- Immersion in a college-going culture
- Small class sizes, targeted support for student success
- Project-based learning that incorporates community resources and technology
- Structured workplace experiences in the community, such as internships and job shadowing
- Seamless transition between middle and high school
- Gymnasium, sports program and state-of-the-art facilities
- And so much more¦
HFA: SCS is a Thompson Foundation 90/90 school, committed to graduating at least 90% of our students and sending at least 90% of those graduates on to college.
"At HFA: SCS, my child has been given many opportunities to hone her talents and make real things she only got to dream of three years ago."
