Corpus Christi Catholic Community leases buildings to Michigan Technical Academy (MTA).  MTA is a tuition-free State of Michigan K-12 Charter School authorized and overseen by Central Michigan University and a publicly appointed board.  Two of the three campus of the MTA are located on the grounds of Corpus Christi Parish.  The PreK-2 Campus, on the grounds of St. Gerard Center, is located at 19900 Evergreen, Detroit—Phone 313-538-4927.  The 3-5 Campus, on the grounds of Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM) Center, is located at 19940 Mansfield, Detroit—Phone 313-272-1649.  The third campus, which is not located on Corpus Christi grounds, is the 6-8 Campus, and is on at Presentation Our Lady of Victory Catholic Parish located at 19780 Meyers Road, Detroit—Phone 313-864-0595.

Open enrollment for the coming year is April 16-17, 2007. 

Students from throughout Metro Detroit receive a solid grounding in the basics at MTA. They learn reading, writing and arithmetic, plus science and history, in small classes of no more than 25 students.  They also study Spanish, computer skills, physical education, art and music.

Students are held to high standards and are taught to come to school ready to learn.  “Character education” is a way of life, as children learn the importance of personal appearance, kindness, responsibility and community service.

Students learned to give in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and when winter hit, the children themselves initiated a blanket collection to warm homeless families in their own communities.

MTA’s high school, at 23750 Elmira in Redford, gives students a nationally certified education focused on automotive technology and electronics.
