The Grosse Pointe Academy has been one of the best choices we ever made for our family and our son. The teachers and administrators are beyond amazing. The atmosphere and culture they have created is unlike anything I've ever experienced at a school and we are so grateful to be a part of it! The families of the students are also wonderful and there are lots of opportunities to get involved with the school. We couldn't be happier! Love GPA!!

The Grosse Pointe Academy is a great place to work. It's amazing witnessing students' growth from starting at Montessori Early School to Grade 8 graduation. GPA offers a challenging curriculum with a nurturing environment. From Financial Literacy to Gardening, Middle School offers a variety of electives where students learn how manage the school store or grow and harvests produce then sell it at the Student Farm Stand.
