It was formed on July 1, 2013, by the merger of the Ypsilanti Public School District and the Willow Run School District.[3] Experts in K-12 education along with university, business, and parent partners assisted in the development of the district.[4] The district offers project-based learning, Small Learning Communities (SLCs), a Prek-2 and 6-12 International Baccalaureate curriculum, a STEMM Middle College, and a variety of teaching methods.
