Our Black Only Philosophy
Our institute is dedicated to serving the black community and addressing the specific challenges and disparities that black students often face in the public school system. For the past 30 years, the education provided to black students has been inadequate, with schools in predominantly black neighborhoods receiving less funding, limited access to college readiness courses, and a lack of attention to quality teachers and education.
Affirmative action policies, while intended to promote equality, have not always effectively addressed the needs of black students. Instead, they have disproportionately benefited white women more than black individuals. Furthermore, the recent changes in compulsory laws, raising the minimum age for high school graduation, have the unintended consequence of delaying access to higher education for our children.
To overcome the nepotism and systemic barriers that persist in our country, we have chosen to prioritize our community's education. By focusing on the specific needs and experiences of black students, we aim to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment that addresses the school-to-prison pipeline instead of perpetuating the school-to-welfare pipeline.
It is disheartening to observe that disciplinary recommendations have been unfairly and basely administered to black students, contributing to disparities in the education system. After decades of witnessing the failure of the school system to adequately serve our children, we believe it is our duty and top priority to take their education into our own hands.
By creating an institute that is specifically designed for the black community, we aim to provide a safe and empowering educational space. Our goal is to offer a high-quality education that addresses the unique needs, experiences, and aspirations of black students. Through dedicated resources, experienced instructors, and a culturally responsive curriculum, we strive to equip our students with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities necessary for success.
While our focus is on serving the black community, we recognize the importance of diversity and inclusivity. We understand that an inclusive society values and celebrates people from all racial and ethnic backgrounds. Our commitment to the black community does not exclude the possibility of collaboration and learning from diverse perspectives. We believe that by uplifting and empowering our community, we contribute to creating a more equitable and inclusive society for all.
