Global Tech Academy

Located at 1715 E Forest Ave in Ypsilanti, Michigan, Global Tech Academy is an active, open independent charter district situated within a large suburban setting in the greater Ann Arbor area. Operating as a single-facility public charter, the district serves a foundational grade span from prekindergarten through eighth grade, fostering an intimate community setting for its 213 enrolled students. The academy’s student body reflects a diverse local demographic, primarily comprising Black and Hispanic learners alongside multiracial, White, and Asian peers, with a balanced distribution across the primary and middle school grades.

The academy stands out for its strong staffing context and commitment to individualized instruction, maintaining 28 full-time equivalent teachers to support its student body. This translates to an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of under eight to one, allowing educators to offer targeted academic intervention and close mentorship. The teaching faculty is further complemented by over five full-time instructional aides and more than 16 support staff members, bringing the total operational workforce to nearly 50 full-time professionals. For families and researchers evaluating community-based educational models, Global Tech Academy combines small-school learning environments with a robust professional support network.
