From the Founders
“We not only need to own our schools but we need to develop curriculum and materials to educate our children on who we are as copper colored races, our achievements, and their abilities to achieve success beyond the typical pathways our students are often steered. Further, we must return to times of uniting and educating our communities on issues directly affecting us and how to navigate those circumstances. Our communities will continue to die on the vine without knowledge of our truth, the care of our village, and the support of those with a vested interest in success for our children.”
“I believe African Americans should own and operate schools that consist of mostly African American students because we can identify with, hold accountable and understand the dynamic of education as it relates to our students. Our students in our schools can excel and achieve in a cultural adapted environment where they are acknowledged and taught based on their own personal strengths. As a past public school student with learning disabilities I was diagnosed as an adult. I can identify issues I had in school that went undetected but so did my gifts and talents and strengths because I was intimidated by what I did not know or understand . I believe these realizations, along with ways to help develop and highlight strengths encourage our children to do their very best despite weaknesses.”
“We must take responsibility for ensuring that our children are educated and not overlooked or labeled. We must discover the gifted students as well as build confidence in the special needs student. With support and education instruction being provided to our children by strong African American educators we raise the bar for education in the communities in which we exist.”
“As a 22-year-old special education teacher in the public school system, I saw many Black children mislabeled as special needs and dismissed from having a quality education. I felt that my character was compromised when I had signing off on IEPs that I did not agree with. So, when given the opportunity at 24 years old to open Joshua Christian Academy, I seized it. I opened a preschool in August of 1996 with only six students and nine employees. Since then, we have grown to serve 415 students from 6 weeks to 12th grade. We are fully accredited and employ over 40 administrators, faculty and staff. We have hundreds of students who’ve went on to graduate from college, and have become productive citizens in society.”
