-Initially, Edsel Ford High School was established with a core philosophy: to provide each student with a comprehensive education that emphasized exploration in the arts. This vision gave birth to the Humanities program, an intensive curriculum encompassing art, music, and English, complete with midterms and finals in all three subjects. However, after 52 years, this distinctive program was discontinued. Today, Edsel Ford High School's primary focus is on furnishing students with a rigorous education across all subjects, preparing them for life beyond high school while fostering academic growth and strong character development.
+==Extra-curricular activities==
-One of the unique features of Edsel Ford High School is Thornley Court, a miniature natural sanctuary nestled within the school itself. Thornley Court is home to turtles, ducks, geese, and peacocks, providing students with an up-close and personal encounter with the wonders of nature. Students themselves are responsible for the care of these animals, offering them a valuable opportunity to learn about responsibility and form a connection with the natural world.<ref>{{cite web |title=About Edsel Ford High School |url=https://efhs.dearbornschools.org/about-edsel-ford-high-school/#:~:text=Edsel%20Ford%20High%20School%20is,and%20Dearborn%20native%20Henry%20Ford. |website=dearbornschools.org |publisher=Dearborn Public Schools |access-date=5 September 2023}}</ref>
