Founders Grove Classical Academy is a tuition-free public charter school opening in Fall 2026 in Midland, Michigan. Rooted in the Hillsdale College K-12 Curriculum, our classical liberal arts program will cultivate knowledge, virtue, and civic responsibility in every student.

Our mission is to promote academic excellence with a classical and virtuous foundation, preparing future intellectual, civic, and moral leaders. Students will engage deeply with literature, history, and science while developing habits of integrity, courage, humility, and gratitude.

Why Your Support Matters

Launching a school takes community commitment. Every contribution, large or small, helps us reach our $650,000 goal by June 2026 to prepare classrooms and ready the building for opening day. Additionally, building a world-class classical education in Midland starts with recruiting extraordinary teachers and leaders. Each donation builds not just a school, but a lasting legacy for generations of students in Midland and beyond. Your fellowship sponsorship is the foundation that makes this possible.
