City School

Posted October 8, 2009

The school is a very small public school of choice in Michigan. The primary focus of the program is the development of each child to reach individual excellence. The program is structured to help each child learn how to really think for themselves, and help them develop a social awareness to hep others. In the upper 3-4-5, there is an emphasis on inventions, math, science,to help them see how they can help create solutions for today's problems and that they are fully capable of being the ones to do it.. Parental involvement is a critical piece of the program. Outside field trips occur weekly to museums, soup kitchens, local businesses, etc. Each child that leaves this school has a belief that they can succeed and will help others. My daughter graduated from the program last year and I am so grateful that she had the opportunity to experience this incredible program.

I love this school because of the family atmosphere and the fact that if any of my children needed help from an adult they each have over 40 examples at school everyday from the secretaries to each parent of each child in their respective classrooms that they could turn to to get that help. The school focus on the indvidual needs of each student not the group as a whole. It is very comforting to leave my children daily in such a wonderful group of people.

CIty School is the best school. Standards of education should compare to this school. The teachers care about their students and use many different methods to help them learn. The City School students go on many different field trips designed to teach them while they are learning. For example, they learned about history by going to the Detroit Science Center to see the Titanic Exhibit. The students spent the day learning about the Titanic and finding out if the passenger they were given at the beginning of the exhibit survived. Every year the students go to a one room schoolhouse from the 18th century and experience school in one room. They have to dress like the students and bring their lunch as the students would have. This school is such an experience and academically the students are far ahead of their fellow 6th graders when they matriculate to Middle School.
