Henry Ford Academy

Henry Ford Academy is a charter school in Dearborn, Michigan, United States.

It was the first such school to be developed jointly by a global corporation, public education, and a major nonprofit cultural institution.

[1] Freshman meet inside the main museum building in glass walled classrooms, while older students use a converted carousel building and Pullman cars on a siding of the Greenfield Village railroad.

Classes are expected to include use of the museum artifacts, a tradition of the original Village Schools.

The building received the international annual design award of the Council of Educational Facilities Planners International for 2001, the James D. MacConnell Award for outstanding new educational facilities.
