Download Black Academy: A Village of Support for Black Children's Academic Success

In a world where education is often viewed as a solitary pursuit, the African proverb 'It Takes a Village to Raise a Child' couldn't be more apt. At its core, this philosophy emphasizes the importance of community and collective effort in shaping the lives of children. This ideology has inspired the creation of the Academy for Black Excellence (ABLE), an innovative program designed to provide comprehensive support to Black students in Northeast Wisconsin.

ABLE is more than just a tutoring program – it's a village of dedicated individuals committed to advancing the academic, social, emotional, and cultural well-being of Black children. Through its year-round, virtual out-of-school program, ABLE offers structured, one-on-one sessions that cater to the unique needs of each student. This Afrocentric approach acknowledges the richness and diversity of African cultures, while also providing a safe and nurturing environment for students to grow and thrive.

The program's holistic approach is rooted in the understanding that academic success is not solely dependent on individual effort, but rather on a combination of factors that include social-emotional learning, leadership development, and cultural relevance. ABLE's transformative coaching methods aim to empower Black students with the skills and confidence they need to excel not only in school but also out-of-school spaces.

What sets ABLE apart is its commitment to providing these resources at no cost to families. This approach recognizes that financial barriers should never stand in the way of a child's educational journey. By offering this program free of charge, ABLE is able to reach a wider audience and make a meaningful impact on the lives of Black students in Northeast Wisconsin.

ABLE's primary goal is to position Black students for success by providing them with the support and resources they need to excel. This mission is closely tied to the organization's commitment to affirming, engaging, supporting, inspiring, motivating, positioning, and guiding each student throughout their educational journey. By doing so, ABLE aims to create a sense of community and belonging that extends beyond the classroom.

In Northeast Wisconsin, AHI (African Heritage Inc.) has taken the first step towards making this vision a reality by launching the Academy for Black Excellence. This groundbreaking program is a testament to the power of collaboration and collective effort in promoting academic success and social-emotional well-being among Black children.

For Black students and their families in Northeast Wisconsin, ABLE offers a beacon of hope and support. By downloading information about this innovative program, families can take the first step towards unlocking their child's full potential and joining a community of dedicated individuals committed to advancing the excellence of Black children.
