Arbor Preparatory High School is a tuition-free public charter school in Ypsilanti serving students in grades 9-12. We shape instruction to build on the strengths and abilities of each student and integrate Moral Focus™ lessons into every school day. As a result, our students are well-prepared for high school and beyond. A Stanford University study found National Heritage Academies partner-school students gained the equivalent of 3.5 months of additional learning each year compared to peers.
