Admissions

Admission to Henry Ford Academy is done through a random lottery process with no entrance requirements other than Wayne County residency and the eligibility to enter ninth grade. The Academy draws students from diverse cultural, educational and economic backgrounds. The Academy receives nearly four applications for every available ninth grade slot and maintains a waiting list for subsequent years if an opening arises. Due to the random lottery system of enrollment, students attending Henry Ford Academy have attended more than 65 different public, charter, private and parochial schools, or were home-schooled, providing a wide range of previous educational experiences in our students.

The application process begins December 1, 2009 and concludes on February 28, 2010. Applications received after the deadline will not be accepted for the lottery admission process. Applications may be dropped off or mailed to the Academy. Please see the “Application” tab for exact due dates and times.
