The Academy SPS

For more than 30 years Black, Brown, and Bi-Racial students have participated in The Academy for Scholastic and Personal Success summer program, which teaches the core curriculum from a cultural perspective. The Academy encourages students to take responsibility for their academic progress, uses cultural information to teach them why it is important, and shows them how to do it.

The AAAP (African American Awareness Program) mirrors the Expansion program and prepares middle school students for The Academy SPS. In AAAP middle schoolers continue to learn the importance of self-regard and academic excellence.

The Academy Expansion offers weekly lessons in the culture to third, fourth, and fifth graders, teaching them self-confidence, self-regard confidence, and classroom skills necessary to establish academic success.
