The Henry Ford Learning Institute in Michigan will open a high school in San Antonio this fall, according to the Education Report.
The Alameda School for Art and Design will offer a college-preparatory curriculum for high school students who are interested in studying creative arts.
The Institute already operates Henry Ford Academy in Dearborn, a charter public school, as well as a school in Chicago.
Students who enroll in the Alameda program will take four years of math, science, social studies and language arts, but also art and design, the San Antonio Business Journal reported.
Courses will be project-based and will incorporate work in area studios as well as off-site experiences and internships.
The Dearborn-based Institute plans to open a national network of small high schools in major cultural institutions, working with community organizations, according to information at its website.
Each school will be based on the Henry Ford Academy model; students there take courses and complete projects at The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn.
