The Academy works with the court system, parents and legal guardians, local law enforcement agencies and area social service agencies to focus on the needs of this unique group of students who are traditionally underserved and overlooked.YAA meets all state and federal mandates for a strict discipline academy and all curriculum and assessment guidelines of the state of Michigan.
