   The early days of the school included holding classes in numerous places -- a church, public library, and even in a public park. However, the early teachers, parents, and supporters knew that the future of the school was really in their hearts. After seeing their children labeled learning disabled, the parents finally found someone believed in their children, and they were not about to let go. They viewed learning by school bus, and moving from place to place a mere inconvenience. The curriculum includes year-long studies that include Black history, not just the profiles that appear during Black History Month.

The school is making progress with technology and other learning activities, but there is a shortage of funds to provide for extracurricular activities, such as sports and cultural arts, that mitigates against the children achieving a holistic educational experience. The educators are striving for an "A" rating for the school.

Thank you for your generous support!
