ANN ARBOR, MI - Parent Joe Johnson remains in wait-and-see mode as he watches the elementary schools unveil a new school design on Ann Arbor’s southeast side. “But one thing I don’t want the school to be is the science experiment for the district. The re-envisioning process saw the district commit to adopting an IB curriculum focused on inquiry and global awareness, with the schools entering the “Consideration” phase to this fall.

AAPS’ $637,000 property purchase adjacent to Bryant will result in an additional entrance to the elementary school’s property to improve access to the campus off of Ellsworth Road by 2024.
