The Detroit Public Schools is looking for an organization willing and able to open a public boarding school in fall 2012, the district announced today.
Now through Feb. 28, DPS is accepting applications for a high school that would be a charter school offering residential housing.
The school would target students in grades 9 to 12 and focus on providing a high-quality, rigorous college-preparatory curriculum for youths “who need a thoughtful, caring, safe, and nurturing day and residential environment,” according to a DPS statement released today.
