INVERNESS ACADEMY

Inverness Academy is a Title I public high school that is part of the Cheboygan Area Schools school district, located in Cheboygan, MI with about 33 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 2 teachers, Inverness Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Inverness Academy, located in Cheboygan, Michigan, operates as an alternative educational program under the Cheboygan Area Schools district. Designed to serve students who may benefit from a non-traditional learning environment, the academy focuses on providing a personalized approach to academics. Its primary goal is to support students in completing their high school requirements, often catering to those who need flexibility in their scheduling, credit recovery options, or a more individualized pace to achieve graduation.

The school emphasizes a supportive culture that prioritizes student success and workforce readiness. By utilizing the resources of the broader Cheboygan Area Schools system, Inverness Academy bridges the gap for students who might struggle in a conventional classroom setting, offering a smaller, more focused setting. Through this alternative framework, the academy remains dedicated to ensuring that every student has a viable pathway to earning their diploma and transitioning successfully into post-secondary education or the workforce.
