While there are tons of private schools in Michigan from which to choose, some southeast Michigan parents may want to narrow the options even further and send their sons to one of the private schools for boys specifically. These boys private schools in metro Detroit not only have all-male student bodies, but tout a variety of offerings in academics, extracurricular opportunities and more. Scroll through this list of local all-male schools to get the scoop.
Note on costs: Private schools don’t receive money from the state school funds, so they are financed through corporate gifts and grants, religious institutions (if they’re parochial) and tuition from those who attend. Fees vary greatly – from $1,000 to as much as $30,000 a year. However, don’t assume that a school is out of your financial range. Most offer scholarships, for both academic excellence or financial hardship. Check with the school you’re interested in sending your child to find out what the cost will be to attend.
