Welcome to Burton Glen Charter Academy - Elevating Education, Building Character™

Burton Glen Charter Academy is a tuition-free public charter school in Michigan serving students in grades Y5-8. 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 from kindergarten through eighth grade. 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.
