Our team is dedicated to providing a world-class education to empower our scholars and help them make their dreams a reality
Over 90% of our scholars live within a 1.5 mile radius of the school. This, along with right-sized enrollment and manageable class sizes, creates a close-knit community where scholars feel safe and are able to develop meaningful relationships with adults.
The importance of a college education is rapidly increasing in the 21st-century. As part of our enduring commitment to creating opportunities for our students, as we offer college prep curriculum.
Of course, the academic skills necessary to succeed are central to our program. We also prioritize a holistic approach to learning by purposefully integrating character development and cultivating a scholar’s sense of self. Each aspect is critical to developing happy, stable and successful human beings.
During the school day, we offer music and financial literacy classes as part of our core curriculum, and we partner with community organizations to offer after-school enrichment and athletic programming such as RacquetUp Detroit.
Life can be hectic, and it is made more difficult when a parent must walk or drive their scholar to school on a daily basis. MacDowell families have access to worry-free bus transportation to and from school each day free of charge.
MacDowell operationalizes its vision through its mission to instill in its scholars the SKILL and WILL to prepare them for success in college and life.
We believe that each student is important and valued, in offering structure and guidance for every child, in transparency and integrity, in providing leadership opportunities for staff and students, in fostering good, healthy reciprocal relationships, in student , school and community engagement and in providing an environment where children are fully supported and feel comfortable.
We aspire to be the best place for leaders to lead and teachers to teach.
