Dearborn Academy is a leading state-approved therapeutic day school for students of all genders in Grades 3-12 with emotional and/or learning disabilities. We understand our students' academic and emotional needs, and prioritize students regaining their health in order to thrive. We provide a rigorous academic program and comprehensive clinical services. Clinicians spend time in classrooms to help students apply skills learned in individual counseling sessions to real-life, in-the-moment challenges. We teach executive functioning skills in each class and use the Wilson Reading System for students who require it. Dearborn Academy students have a diversity of opportunities including honors-option classes, woodworking, jewelry, art, theater, and music classes. Extracurriculars include student council, GSA, basketball, rowing and more! College-career preparation is comprehensive and includes opportunities for dual enrollment classes. 11th/12th graders have individual sessions with our certified guidance counselor. We offer a six-week extended school year program.
