Svenska Skolan i Metro Detroit Svenska skolan har för närvarande ca 30 barn i åldrarna 5 till 18 år. De är indelade i 8 undervisningsgrupper, baserade på svenskkunskaper och inte efter ålder.
Skolan träffas var 14:e dag på söndagar mellan 10.00 - 13.15 på Svenska Klubben i Farmington Hills.
Undervisningen baseras på kraven från Skolverket i Sverige som kräver ett visst antal undervisningstillfällen per år (vi träffas 18 ggr/läsår), att barnen är mellan 6-19 år, att minst en av föräldrarna är svensk medborgare och att svenska är ett "levande" språk i hemmet.
Ämnen som vi undervisar i är:
svensk läsning och skrivning,
svensk historia och geografi,
svensk naturkunskap samt
svensk samhällsorientering (dvs. riksdag och regering, grundlagar och statsskick osv).
Skolan startades 1996 som en grupp inom SWEA men är numera en helt fristående förening.
