At Charlotte Mason Community School (CMCS), our dedication to providing equitable education in Detroit spans over two decades. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Detroit, CMCS is a place of wonder and possibility, where children are not just educated but nurtured, cherished, and empowered to embrace their unique identities and potential.
Here, in the caring environment of students are guided on a transformative journey of self-discovery, growth, and a deep and remarkable relationship with Christ.
Because they are created in the image of God, people have
intrinsic value, purpose and worth. They come before programs and
agendas and outcomes. Rather, they are the outcome. Students,
teachers, staff, families, our community - they matter and we will
always make choices based around that truth. We strive to be one of
the best schools in Detroit, not for our sake, but because
education is the gateway to so much for these amazing
children.
LIBERAL ARTS
Following the philosophies of Charlotte Mason (a revolutionary
British educator who stood against utilitarian education) we will
champion a living education that encompasses the growth of the
whole child. We will encourage a love of learning that extends
beyond the classroom for the good of our students and their
communities, while engaging them in a challenging liberal arts
education.
EDUCATIONAL JUSTICE
In a world that increasingly commodifies people - especially
children and particularly those in urban areas - we will provide an
urban education that counteracts social inequality. We will break
down barriers of means and circumstance to make an enriching
education available to any and all.

My son loves this school (and so do we)!There are so many benefits to this school: small class sizes, teachers who meet each student where they are at, a focus on well-rounded education, just to name a few. But what I really love about this school is that it`s a community of people who are all dedicated to raising great kids, inside and out. When I send my son to school, I know he is surrounded by people who strive to make him the best person he can be.

As a parent of three daughters living in Detroit, there is no other school I would want to send my girls to. Facilities, teachers, administration, school philosophy, safe environment, parent involvement...this school has it all and they work incredibly hard to make the school available to every Detroit kid. An amazing place for a child to learn and grow.
