Joy Preparatory Academy

Covenant Schools, formerly known as Covenant House Academy, is dedicated to empowering youth in the Grand Rapids and Detroit areas by providing them with the opportunity to earn a high school diploma while developing essential life skills. The school serves a diverse range of students, including those with language-based learning disabilities and twice-exceptional learners, fostering an inclusive environment that prioritizes academic success and personal growth. With a compassionate staff at the helm, Covenant Schools employs innovative programs and therapeutic methodologies designed to prevent poverty and underachievement, offering hope and encouragement to every student. What sets Covenant Schools apart is its commitment to maintaining a low student-teacher ratio, which allows for personalized attention and strong family partnerships. Additionally, the school hosts unique community events that enhance student engagement and promote a sense of belonging among families, making it not just an educational institution but a supportive community hub.

On Detroit's west side, we run a free public charter school for kindergarten through eighth grade. We work closely with students and families and support both academic growth and the wider needs that affect learning. Our school grew from one small campus into a two-school organization.

Detroit Public Safety Academy is dedicated to fostering a safe, innovative, and nurturing environment for students in grades 9 through 12. This institution is committed to valuing each student and treating them with dignity and respect while equipping them with the skills necessary for success in the public safety sector. The academy offers a dynamic curriculum that includes dual enrollment programs, enabling students to earn college credits or even an associate degree alongside their high school diploma, particularly in criminal justice or public/private security. Individualized support ensures that every learner receives the attention they need, complemented by a schoolwide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program that promotes character development. The newly renovated campus features technology-enhanced classrooms and shared elective classes designed to engage students actively. Extracurricular activities such as basketball, football, and volleyball provide opportunities for personal growth outside the classroom. Strong partnerships with the Detroit Police Department and Detroit Fire Department further enrich the educational experience, offering students hands-on learning opportunities and mentorship.
