A Private School Designed Around Your Child
Serving K–9th grade students in Farmington Hills
You want a school that sees your child as an individual. We built one.
AMPed Academy is a small, accredited private school where every student works from a personalized education plan, learns through meaningful project-based work, and is taught by faculty who stay genuinely invested in their progress, in the classroom and beyond it.
Students attend campus two days a week plus alternating Fridays. The remaining days are structured, faculty-guided independent learning that builds the academic depth and self-direction students carry with them.
Accredited by the Middle States Association, the same rigorous standard held by the nation’s most established private schools. AMPed is the first school in Michigan on the MSA Next Generation pathway.
At AMPed, high academic standards and personalized learning work together. Every student is held to rigorous expectations through a program designed around how they actually learn.
How Learning Is Designed at AMPed
Every part of the AMPed program is designed to work together as a single, coherent learning experience.
Belonging by Design
Small, thoughtfully structured cohorts where students know each other and teachers know them. Building trust and psychological safety is where real academic growth begins, and cohort design at AMPed starts there.
Explore Belonging ➡️
Project-Based Learning
Learning organized around inquiry, real projects, and genuine mastery. Students build lasting understanding of the material and real confidence in their own thinking. They know what they’re working on, why it matters, and how to get better at it.

Personalized Learning
Every student’s learning plan is built around their individual strengths, needs, and goals. Faculty provide structure, consistent feedback, and real accountability every day, campus days and independent days alike.

Designed for Development
The program evolves as students do. Complexity, responsibility, and depth increase from lower elementary through middle school, so students are always working at the right level of challenge and growing steadily toward greater independence.

A Parent's Perspective
Is AMPed the Right School for Your Family?
AMPed Academy is intentionally designed for families who value:

A Private School Built Around the Whole Experience
AMPed Academy is a complete private school program, designed from the ground up around how students actually grow. Learning isn’t organized by hours in a seat. It’s organized around depth — what students understand, how they apply it, and where they go next.
That means rigorous, standards-aligned work across every discipline. Faculty who are genuinely invested in each student’s progress, not just what happens on campus. Clear expectations, continuous feedback, and a steady push toward mastery.
The result is a school that holds together as a single, coherent academic experience — not a collection of disconnected pieces.
What that looks like in practice:
- Meaningful, project-based work that builds real skills alongside academic knowledge
- Faculty guidance that doesn’t stop at the classroom door
- Portfolios that document genuine growth over time — not just completed assignments
- Learning that’s intellectually demanding and personally relevant, because those two things aren’t in conflict
High standards don’t require a high-pressure environment. They require a school that’s designed well enough to make the hard work feel worth it. That’s what we built.
