Examining the traditional and progressive, the intuitive and intellectual, the individual and collaborative, the expressive and technical, the theoretical and the practical, students find a vision that's truly their own.

We currently offer dual enrollment programs at several high school locations throughout the State of Michigan as well as offering on-campus course opportunities. You can even receive tuition support through the State of Michigan School Aid Act.
