A Community Where Every Child Thrives

At William C. Abney Academy, we’re more than a school — we’re a family. Rooted in care, connection, and high expectations, we guide every student to grow into confident, curious, and capable learners.
 
William C. Abney Academy is a free, public charter school academy serving students in grades DK–7 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. With a whole-child approach to learning, we prioritize academic achievement, social-emotional growth, and strong community values. 
 
Our dedicated staff partners with families to build a supportive learning environment where every child is seen, supported, and celebrated. From small class sizes to hands-on learning, we help students develop the skills they need to succeed in school and beyond.
