SANKOFA COMMUNITY ACADEMY

The Sankofa Community Academy provides an authentic, inclusive, and culturally responsive Afrocentric educational experience for students in pre-kindergarten through middle school, focused on academic excellence rooted in mastery and grounded in personal health and wellness, assuring that all students thrive and succeed... Our shared history has created the world in which we currently live, work, and learn. Increasingly, we understand that we live in a society that is inequitable in ways that harm us all. Inequity poses a strong challenge to the democratic society we continually strive to build. The systems that we've inherited contribute to inequity; they were conceived and grounded in systematic bias and both implicit and explicit racism that have been present in our society since the founding of our nation. Restructuring our inherited systems to produce equity and justice is the defining challenge of our time.
