Detroit Public Schools Community District is proud to sponsor our award-winning Academic Games teams. Academic Games is a series of games designed to excite and measure student knowledge in a variety of themes. Students develop proficiency and self-confidence by competing in games of Math, English, Social Studies, and Logic. By competing against each other, students are encouraged and motivated to sharpen their skills to gain a competitive edge over their peers. Academic Games is not only exciting but makes learning fun for students! If you are interested in starting an Academic Games team at your school, please contact your school’s administrator.
