Hamtramck Academy is a top-ranked charter school located in the heart of Hamtramck, offering a personalized teaching approach and a moral focus program. The school's educational approach focuses on developing strong hearts and minds, with an emphasis on providing a well-rounded education that extends beyond academic achievement. Hamtramck Academy's unique characteristics include its ability to outperform the district, indicating a potentially high standard of education, and its recognition as one of the top twenty-five charter schools in Michigan. The school's Moral Focus Program is an essential part of its curriculum, teaching virtues such as respect, perseverance, compassion, and courage, and is integrated into every school day to help students learn the importance of making good decisions and doing the right thing in life.
