Ginn Academy

Ginn Academy is a specialized all-male public high school located in the Collinwood neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. As part of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, the academy was founded by the legendary Glenville High School football coach Ted Ginn Sr. The school is built on a unique educational philosophy that prioritizes character development, mentorship, and brotherhood as the foundation for academic success. Its mission is to provide young men with a structured, supportive environment that focuses on leadership, personal accountability, and community engagement.

The school is well-known for its "interventionist" approach, which pairs students with dedicated advocates who provide consistent emotional and academic support throughout their high school careers. Beyond standard classroom instruction, Ginn Academy integrates life-skills training and a strong culture of discipline, aiming to help students overcome external challenges and prepare for post-secondary education or meaningful careers. By fostering a "family-like" atmosphere, the school seeks to empower its students to become productive, responsible, and successful men who contribute positively to their families and the broader Cleveland community.
