Greetings from the Great Burton International Academy:
Welcome Parents, Guardians, Students, Commnunity Members and all Stakeholders. We are a Detroit Public School located in the Midtown Community serving the Pre-K through 8th grade population. I am excited to welcome you to our website. I hope that you bookmark this site, add it to your favorites and visit often.
Along with the dedicated and committed educational staff at Burton International Academy, I ascribe to the philosophy that all children can learn within a supportive, structured and nurturing environment focused on a comprehensive and holistic approach to academic achievement.
Our Mission Statement: Burton International Academy is a multi-lingual and multicultural school for students citywide. Burton respects and supports the ethnic, racial and cultural heritage of its students. Pograms are designed to meet individual student needs. We offer a balanced academic program in Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Physical Education, Swimmin, Performing Arts, Arts and Crafts, and Computer Education. Burton International uses the community's various ethnic and economic groups as learning resources for the children.
Additionally, Burton International Academy expects mutual respect and understanding among all people and insists that children and adults function in a non-violent, non-racist, non-sexist manner as it moves toward a concept of a community school for all ages and groups. All children, whatever their background are expected and encouraged to develop to their ultimate potential as well- rounded, lifelong learners with the support and collaboration of staff, parents, and a multicultural global community.
With that in mind, you are invited to be an active participant at Burton International Academy . Whether you are a classroom volunteer, field trip chaperone, a member of PACSA, School Retention Committee, Wecolme Committee, special event participant you are encouraged to participate. School research clearly demonstrates that parental involvement wil yield a greater likelihood of academic student success.
It is our desire to keep you informed of all that is taking place at the school. Information will be sent to you weekly through various sources. If you have questions or concerns that arise, at any time, please do not hesitate to contact the school office. I look forward to having a long and rewarding relationship with you and your family.
Sincerly,
Dr. John T. Wilson, Principal
