The Henry Ford Academy is located completely within the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. Rather than build a new facility on the site, Concordia recommended that the school be integrated into the existing museum spaces. Modifications required to accommodate 400 students were made for approximately $2 million; less than 25% of the cost for a comparable 400 student school in the state of Michigan. The Henry Ford Academy pays a pro-rated cost for maintenance and operating expenses.
