Michigan School for the Deaf (MSD) is a bilingual school, with a residential component, for students who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH). MSD provides a language rich environment in the least restrictive environment for students who are DHH, guaranteeing each student a free appropriate public education (FAPE). MSD ensures academic and social excellence - rich in ASL and English literacy for all students from infancy to graduation.

An American Sign Language (ASL)/English bilingual approach is used to support the acquisition, development, and use of ASL and English. Students are placed at MSD through the individualized education program (IEP) process by their resident school district and either attend school as a day student or live residentially. All students are transported to MSD by their local school districts. Students whose families choose for them to live residentially through the week are immersed in Deaf culture and participate in student life opportunities to develop self-advocacy, personal growth, leadership, and teamwork.

MSD staff work collectively to empower students with a positive Deaf identity so when they graduate from MSD each student possess knowledge, confidence, and leadership to become contributing citizens in a diverse, technological, and democratic society.
