At Ronald Brown Academy, we believe that teaching matters most, therefore, we exist to ensure that all students are on a path to success.  Our goal is to provide a premier learning experience for students on Detroit's eastside through means of internalizing the habits of self-reliance, honor, achievement, responsibility to others, and persistence.  These values give our students the ability to be life-long learners capable of excelling and transforming tomorrow.  In addition, we work to help students develop academic habits with an engaging and rigorous curriculum that accelerates the learning process.  We seek to prove that students, regardless of what ZIP code they are born into, can perform at high academic levels. Our mission is to impact and transform not only the students at Ronald Brown Academy but the expectation of what public schools can achieve.

Ronald Brown Academy offers an integrated curriculum with a strong emphasis on science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics for grades Pre K-8.
