Bates Academy is a school for gifted/talented students. An examination is required before students are admitted into Bates. Students must demonstrate exceptional cognitive abilities and must be able to succeed academically beyond their current grade level. Our goal is to provide a unique curriculum to meet the needs of Detroit students identified as gifted.
Detroit Public Schools' major goal is to guarantee that all children reach their fullest potential. This includes equitable opportunities for students' academic achievement. Bates Academy's vision is aligned with the goal as we provide a varied, differentiated curriculum to students whose needs are different from those in a regular classroom setting.
