About the academy:

Casa Richard Academy is a charter high school that originally developed from tutorial classes at Casa Maria Community Center on Trumbull in Detroit. It soon grew to a full curriculum program and in 1994 had the distinction of becoming the first charter school licensed in Michigan.

Students came from various schools and at different grade levels. However, their common denominator became a real interest in learning, along with a growing understanding of personal responsibility and the strong career possibilities that lie ahead of them.

From 1998 until 2002, Casa Richard Academy operated out of the Latino Family Services building. We now proudly reside in our permanent location; 2635 Howard between 18th and St. Anne.
