Michigan's boarding schools must be licensed by the Michigan Department of Education.  Section 3 of the Revised School Code (MCL 380.3(4)) defines a boarding school as "a place accepting for board, care, and instruction 5 or more children under 16 years of age."  There have been recent changes in the Michigan Administrative Code Rules governing Boarding School Licenses that affect the licensing requirements and site review process beginning with the 2005-2006 school year.  The revised rules were effective May 13, 2005.  In addition to compliance with the rules for Boarding School Licenses, boarding schools must comply with the requirements of the Revised School Code that pertain to nonpublic schools.  If you have any questions regarding boarding school matters you may contact Ms. Joann Neuroth of the Office of School Improvement at 517-373-4631.

Questions about admission information, costs and/or the school program should be directed to the boarding school.  Below is a list of currently licensed boarding schools for the 2007-2008 school year.
