Ojibwe Charter School

Located along the scenic corridor of Brimley, Michigan, at 12099 W Lakeshore Dr, Ojibwe Charter School functions as an active, single-facility independent charter district. Nestled in a distant rural setting within the broader Sault Ste. Marie metropolitan region, the district serves a complete primary and secondary educational continuum, spanning from kindergarten through 12th grade, alongside specialized ungraded instruction. Functioning as its own Local Education Agency (LEA) for federal programs, the district offers a focused, community-anchored academic environment for families seeking tailored educational pathways in northern Michigan.

The district fosters a close-knit learning community, maintaining a total enrollment of 125 students. Demographically, the student body reflects strong cultural roots, featuring a predominantly American Indian student population (104 students), alongside White (16), multiracial (4), and Black (1) scholars, with a composition of 79 male and 46 female learners. Ojibwe Charter School is exceptionally well-resourced in terms of personnel, maintaining a total staffing footprint of over 50 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions. This dedicated team includes 23 FTE classroom teachers, over 27 FTE support staff members, and instructional aid support, providing an exceptionally high staff-to-student ratio designed to ensure individual academic attention, robust wraparound support, and small class sizes across all grade levels.
