Oakland International Academy High School

Oakland International Academy (OIA) High School, located on Florian Street in Hamtramck, Michigan, is a public charter school dedicated to serving a culturally and linguistically diverse student population. The school is well-known for its commitment to supporting English Language Learners (ELL) and immigrant families, providing a structured academic environment designed to bridge the gap between students’ international backgrounds and the American K-12 curriculum. Its location in Hamtramck—a city recognized for its high density of immigrant communities—places the school at the heart of a supportive, multicultural neighborhood.

Academically, the school focuses on college and career readiness, offering a comprehensive high school curriculum that emphasizes core subjects like mathematics, science, and English language arts. Beyond standard coursework, OIA often integrates programs aimed at building social-emotional skills and fostering global citizenship. By offering a smaller, more intimate school setting compared to larger municipal districts, Oakland International Academy strives to provide personalized attention and guidance, helping its diverse student body navigate the challenges of graduation and post-secondary transitions.
