Africana for All
Africana for All
We are a multiracial, multicultural community that learns from an African-centered curriculum in order to replace the negative associations with the world's Black identities with examples of Black excellence in everything we learn.
Together, our students strengthen literacy and communication skills in a college prep environment building toward post-graduate success and career pathways in leadership and service to counter racism and further, anti-Blackness.
We all lift, we all learn, and we all benefit from the upliftment of the world's most marginalized communities.
