OUR MISSION
The Mission of The Academy for Scholastic and Personal Success is to instill pride in and understanding of African American culture as a tool to encourage academic achievement and positive behaviors, toward post-secondary matriculation and productive citizenship.
We stand on the shoulders of our ancestors
Invest In Yourself
For more than 30 years, The Academy for Scholastic and Personal Success summer program, has offered a summer program that combines engaging instruction in core academics with Black cultural studies. At our foundation is a belief in equal opportunity and fairness for every student. That’s why the program is open to all capable students, while ensuring that Black and Biracial students in the program feel seen, supported, and empowered. We inspire students to take ownership of their learning, recognize the historical and cultural importance of education, and build the skills they need to thrive, because when every child succeeds, our entire community benefits.
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, and classroom skills necessary to establish academic success.
