About Metro Charter Academy
Metro Charter Academy has served Romulus families on Ecorse Road for 25 years. As a tuition-free public charter school in the National Heritage Academies network, we teach kindergarten through eighth grade with no entrance exams or interviews, and we hold a random lottery when applications outnumber seats.
Our teachers use a research-backed curriculum and regular progress checks to give each child the right level of challenge, and every classroom is supported by a dedicated dean. Students ready for more can join EXCEL-ERATE for advanced work in reading and math, and middle schoolers may earn high school credit. Art, music, PE and technology round out the week, and our Moral Focus program teaches a different virtue, such as respect, gratitude or perseverance, each month.
As the Metro Jets, students in grades 5 to 8 play basketball, soccer, cross country, volleyball and cheer. Clubs include band, chess, robotics, Lego League, spelling bee, mentoring and National Junior Honor Society. Field trips range from Greenfield Village and the zoo to college tours, and the year includes a science fair, poetry slam, wax museum and STEAM night.
