Rooting its approach in African American culture and being intentional about preparing African American youth to serve in the African American community, the Academy teaches Art, History and Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM).
This year the Academy will have as its historical and arts theme “Black Youth in the Black Community’s Fight for Freedom” and we’ll focus on aspects of the history and art of youth who have been a part of this battle. The STEM classes will focus on learning about ecosystems.

"If a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated." -- Carter G. Woodson
