Our Core Curriculum
Our core curriculum is specifically designed to meet the needs of Black students. We understand the ongoing struggles within the public school system to provide an adequate education for our Black children. Our comprehensive curriculum covers essential subjects such as Math, Science, ELA (English Language Arts), and Social Studies. In addition to these core subjects, we offer life skills classes that encompass Health, Business, College and Career, and Life Skills. Our STEM concentration focuses on building a strong foundation in structures, machines and mechanisms, electronics, Technical Drawing, and Computer-Aided Design (CAD). Moreover, our Social Justice courses include thought-provoking topics such as The African American Experience, Debating and Argumentation, and Mobilization and Leadership. We are committed to providing a well-rounded education that empowers Black students to excel academically, develop vital life skills, and engage critically with important social issues.

The achievement gap in math is a significant challenge for African American students in American schools. Our curriculum aims to address this issue by complementing STEM science courses and providing a deeper understanding of key math concepts. Aligned with AP standards, our courses offer ample opportunities for black students to explore algebra, reasoning, and real-world applications. Through collaborative problem-solving and active participation, students develop a strong foundation for higher-level math. Our goal is to foster intuitive understanding through real-world connections and equip students with the skills needed for college-level math. We emphasize conceptual understanding and aim to close the achievement gap, empowering students to excel and thrive in math.
With a strong commitment to tackling educational disparities, our science curriculum focuses on empowering underrepresented students, especially Black students. We aim to bridge the gap in access to advanced courses by providing equal opportunities and resources. Through a comprehensive science education covering Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy/Earth Science, and the Living Environment, we inspire Black students to explore STEM careers while equipping them with essential scientific knowledge. Our inclusive learning environment ensures equitable access, allowing Black students to thrive and make meaningful contributions to their communities.

Our social studies curriculum is designed to empower Black students by providing them with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions for themselves and society. We recognize the lack of exposure to key historical information that can help students understand the complexities of today's society. Our curriculum focuses on preparing students to compete in a global economic system by understanding its evolution. We employ an approach aligned with national standards, covering themes such as geography, climate, societal development, culture, governance, and global connections. Join us in exploring the world and developing critical thinking skills for a brighter future.
Our ELA curriculum is specifically designed to empower Black students with the tools and knowledge needed for effective communication. We acknowledge the concerning statistics indicating lower reading proficiency rates for Black students compared to their white counterparts, leading to challenges in high school, lower college attendance, increased likelihood of incarceration, and lower income levels.
Our comprehensive curriculum focuses on developing a deep understanding of texts and emphasizes clear and organized communication through writing and speech. We prioritize mastery of grammar, persuasive writing, technical writing, essays, and other formats, while also promoting active listening, research skills, and inquiry-based learning. Our goal is to equip Black students with the confidence and skills to succeed academically and beyond, bridging the gap and ensuring they have the tools to navigate a world that values effective communication.
