African American Immersion Program
We compare our African American-centered curriculum to the roots of a tree—lessons run deep into the past and nourish the present

Children who feel comfortable in their minds and bodies have an easier time focusing on their studies and expressing their creativity.
Family Involvement
Family involvement is encouraged so students feel a sense of belonging and have continuous support in and out of school.
