Individual progress is closely monitored and shared with staff and parents for timely student encouragement and assistance. The Arbor Academy in Battle Creek and the Oakland Academy in Portage are the result of years of experience and study of early childhood development by the Foundation for Behavioral Resources. The mission of both schools is to provide the best fundamental education possible in an environment that fosters enthusiasm, competence, appreciation, and responsibility. The Academies are overseen by Grand Valley State University. Both are tuition-free public schools open to all residents, regardless of their current school district.
Enrollment is limited.
