New Bedford Academy

New Bedford Academy is an open, independent charter school district located at 6315 Secor Road in Lambertville, Michigan. Situated within a large suburban setting in the greater Monroe metropolitan region, this single-school district provides a continuous educational continuum serving children from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Operating as its own local educational agency for federal programs, the academy delivers an accessible primary and middle school program designed to build strong foundational skills in a close-knit learning environment before students transition to secondary education.

Serving a focused student body of 63 students across its grade levels, the academy offers an environment defined by exceptionally individualized academic attention. The district's instructional framework is anchored by 12 full-time equivalent teaching positions and supported by an additional 18 full-time equivalent support staff members, bringing total district staffing to approximately 30 full-time equivalent personnel. This remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio allows educators to tailor instruction to individual learning needs, offering families and researchers a distinct example of a small-scale, community-oriented public charter model in southeastern Michigan.
