University Preparatory Academy-Ellen Thompson Campus is one of the first stops for your child as he or she proceeds through the UPA district. We work diligently to provide a program that is small, personalized, caring and high achieving. At Ellen Thompson we educate students to become passionate, life long learners that respect themselves, others and the environment surrounding them. We do this by focusing on the whole child through academics as well as providing social-emotional education to all students. UPA has created a rigorous academic and learning environment for students with the implementation of curriculum that will ensure that your child is prepared for the next level.
We are known in the Detroit Metro community for innovation, creativity, dedication and excellence. We have highly qualified administrative and teaching staff who are committed to providing your child with relevant and rigorous instruction using various curriculum and resources. We do whatever it takes to reach each child academically as well as socially and emotionally.
We believe that a strong partnership between our school, each classroom and home is critical to student and school success. Without the support and involvement from parents and families we would not be able to achieve our mission and vision.
Our website will provide you with information about our school and our hope is that you will be provided a clear picture of our beliefs, programs and vision for our students; that all who walk through our doors will be prepared for success by graduating high school and being college bound.
