Fostering Leadership Academy

Fostering Leadership Academy is an active independent charter district operating a single campus located at 16511 Delaware Avenue in Redford, Michigan. Nestled in a large suburban setting within the greater Detroit-Warren-Dearborn metropolitan region, the district provides a structured educational pathway for elementary and middle school students in kindergarten through eighth grade. According to federal data from the 2024–2025 NCES dataset, the academy fosters a close-knit learning community, serving a total student body of 76 children across its primary and middle school grade levels.

To support its student body, Fostering Leadership Academy maintains a strong professional workforce, employing 14 full-time equivalent teachers alongside approximately 10 support staff members, bringing total district personnel to nearly 24 full-time equivalent positions. This robust staffing context translates to remarkably small class sizes and significant individual support for every learner. For parents seeking a personalized academic setting and researchers evaluating small-scale charter performance in suburban Michigan, the district offers an attentive, community-focused educational model built around early and middle-years development.
