Academics
Clara B. Ford Academy (CBFA) is a public middle/high school serving grades 5 - 12. CBFA follows the requirements of the Michigan Merit Curriculum by using both traditional and alternative instructional delivery methods. Successful completion of 18 credit hours is required to earn a high school diploma. Students may also earn credits through our E2020 on-line credit recovery program.
Our Staff
We serve a population of phenomenal students, we live by the motto: Together WE WILL,” valuing collaboration among staff and students. Staff at CBF work together to cultivate a rich school culture, and we enjoy our times as a Team! We have great confidence in our students’ potential and we are deeply committed to both providing them a nurturing learning environment and helping them to build the academic and social emotional skills necessary to thrive in a competitive adult world.
Clara B. Ford Academy celebrated Count Day with a pep rally featuring a very special performance from Showbotz! Thank you for making this event a huge success!
Our School Culture
At CBFA, we understand that our students spend a significant amount of time in school and that their feelings about the school experience can have a big impact on their daily lives. Students not only need to feel safe at school but should also feel comfortable in a supportive environment regardless of their circumstance or background. We know that persistent positive school climate and culture is linked to positive student development, academic achievement, increased student attendance, and positive relationships between students and adults.
​
Therefore, our school begins each day with a Social and Emotional lesson that develops a foundation for a positive learning community that enhances the student’s ability to succeed in school, life, college, and the workforce, amongst other activities, clubs and programs that also build positive school climate and culture.
