To create and instill within our community, the local community as well as the larger African diasporic community, a sense of personal commitment and pride that will serve as the foundation for academic excellence, service, and self-determination. The fundamental principle in our system of beliefs is rendered in the Zulu word, Simunye, which means, “We Are One!” As this mission is primarily an educational one, we hope that through a partnership consisting of students, parents, teachers, administrators, members of the entire African Diasporic community to ensure that every child we aid and assist has the opportunity and the responsibility to preserve and pass on the culture and to inherit the future.
