African American Academy
"The Beacon on the Hill"

Mission

The mission of the African American Academy is to meet the needs of African American and all children, providing them with an academic and African-centered education: nurturing them, in order to meet their emotional needs, while helping them to develop positive social and cultural skills which will enable them to become leaders of tomorrow.

Vision

WE, the family of the African American Academy, will prepare our children to meet the future and to flourish in it

WE, the staff, parents, scholars, and community make up the Village of the African American Academy of Seattle Public Schools. We shall persevere in the scholarly traditions of our ancestors that enriched civilizations around the world, that gave birth to leaders, and provided knowledge of our beauty, unity and hope extending from our elders to our present and future generations.

WE, together, will achieve our vision through the embodiment of the principles of Nguzo Saba, catalyst for the rebirth of our ancestral heritage and the renaissance of our rich and regal history.
