School of Education 
creates new training
program based off 
medical residencies

The University of Michigan 
School of Education is partnering 
with the Detroit Public Schools 
Community District to open a 
new high school located on the 
Marygrove College campus. Ninth 
graders will begin at the school in 
fall, adding a new ninth grade class 
yearly until the school is full.
According to an email from 
Chrystal Wilson, DPSCD assistant 
superintendent of communications 
and marketing, the school will 
be social justice themed and 
have an emphasis on developing 
critical 
thinking. 
The 
school, 
officially called The School @ 
Marygrove, will also have a focus 
in engineering.
“Operated by Detroit Public 
Schools 
Community 
District 
(DPSCD), the new social justice-
themed public school has been 
designed 
to 
develop 
critical 
thinkers and community-minded 
citizens who have the skills and 
knowledge to be makers and 
leaders creating a more just and 
equitable future,” Wilson wrote. 
“DPSCD and the University of 
Michigan School of Education 

have co-developed a project- and 
place-based 
engineering 
and 
design thinking curriculum that 
will empower students to identify, 
collaborate and solve complex 
problems found in our city and in 
our world.”
Education 
senior 
Hannah 
Whitman said social justice is a 
pillar of her teacher preparation 
coursework. 
She 
said 
it 
is 
important for both students and 
teachers to understand why social 
justice is important in society and 
for educators to teach with social 
justice in mind.
“It’s so important for students to 
have the ability to be an advocate, 
not only for themselves, but for 
people in their community or people 
around the world,” Whitman said. 
“Teaching that as young as high 
school or even younger is really 
empowering for them.”
Marygrove’s 
Liberal 
Arts 
Building is undergoing renovations 
throughout the summer and will 
be ready for students in September, 
Wilson wrote. Though Marygrove 
is set to close its doors in December 
because of declining enrollment 
and financial struggles, Wilson 
wrote that this is not expected to 
impact the new school.
The 
Kresge 
Foundation, 
a 
private foundation working to 
expand 
opportunities 
through 
grants and investments, is also 
involved in opening the school.The 
Foundation did not respond to The 
Daily’s request for comment.
