At DAA, we are Crew, not passengers.

Founded in 2013, Detroit Achievement Academy (DAA) was born from the belief that a world-class education should be available to every child in Detroit. As a high-achieving, hands-on learning school, we provide a holistic environment where academic excellence, belonging, creative expression and joy go hand-in-hand. We prioritize:

Deep, Meaningful Learning: Our students don’t just memorize facts; they solve real-world challenges through interdisciplinary "Expeditions" that connect the classroom to the city we love.

Character & Belonging: We foster a culture of compassion and integrity through daily crew meetings, ensuring every student is seen, heard, and valued as an integral part of our community.

Arts & Innovation: We believe in the power of creativity. By integrating the arts and world-class resources, we empower our students to be the thinkers, dreamers, and doers of tomorrow.

Join us at our 7000 W Outer Drive campus as we continue to prove what’s possible for public education in Detroit.
