Every day, about 350 male high school students in grades 9-12 enter Ginn Academy in the urban Collinwood neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. At Ginn Academy scholars find the love, passion, and understanding that they so need under the watchful eye of Ted Ginn, Sr., the founder, and backbone of the school founded in 2007. Scholarship, leadership, and service are the primary core values upon which a Ginn Man’s education is based.
Ginn Academy students come from the entire Cleveland area and surrounding suburbs because of the district’s open admission policy. The boys wear uniforms consisting of black dress pants, a white shirt, red blazer, and a grade-level designated necktie or bow-tie.
Ginn Academy believes that education is not confined to the classroom and that it is important to educate the whole child through experience and exposure, which leads to empowerment. Each day starts with a morning session, led by Coach Ginn, Principal Nick Petty, or a student leader. The curriculum includes history, math, science, social studies, and electives of business technology, foreign language, art, and physical education. Internships and shadowing opportunities are also sought and provided for students.

We will recognize our genius and realize our self-worth.
We will stay patient and poised to seize every opportunity for success.
We are guided by scholarship, leadership, and service to all mankind.
