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 grades nine and ten. Students are chosen via random lottery; as a result, the entering ninth-grade students have attended more than 65 different public, charter, private, and parochial middle schools, or were home-schooled, giving them a wide range of previous educational experiences.

The application process begins December 1, 2007 and concludes on February 29, 2008. Applications received after February 29, 2008 will not be accepted for the lottery admission process. Applications may be dropped off at the Academy, mailed, or sent electronically via our website at www.hfacademy.org

Interested students and parents are invited to attend one of three Open Houses to learn more about Henry Ford Academy.
