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 nationally unique, accredited independent school providing an inclusive and empowering world class education for students with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, PTSD and other barriers to learning. They teach students how to learn, and support their social emotional growth as well. 90% of their students go to college, and the rest go on to train for a career after graduation.

Ann Arbor Academy is gender inclusive and serves students in grades K-12, with a 13th Year post graduate program for students bridging to college or the workplace. Now celebrating its 25th year, enrollment has surpassed 100 for the first time. They are funded solely by tuition and donations, and over one third of their students receive significant need based scholarships to allow their families to afford to send them to the school. Students come from surrounding communities and several move to the area from outside Michigan to attend.
