AMPed Hybrid Academy is a private, secular K-8th grade microschool located in Farmington Hills, MI. AMPed follows a fully project-based learning curriculum and the mixed-age classes are capped at 12 students per class. A 1:6 staff to student ratio is maintained. Every student receives a personalized education plan (PEP) that provides a customized learning path for them. Classrooms are warm and inviting, with a variety of seating options and a comfortable feel. The dedicated sensory room is available to students to use whenever they need to help them regulate and relax.

The hybrid schedule means that classes are held in person two days every week and every other Friday. On the other days, students are provided with specific tasks to complete at home that align to their PEP. Virtual check-ins are provided to ensure students know what they need to accomplish and to provide assistance as needed.
