Peace & Blessings from Dr. Mama

Hotep Family and Welcome Back to School!

We are so happy to have our family reunited again as we start a brand-new school year. We are immensely blessed to start our 16th year of loving and learning with your children.

We hope that everyone has had a wonderful summer and that you are bringing to school year 2024-25 a renewed commitment to growth and excellence. This year our motto is Weka Kuandika: “Write on! Write on!” This year we will focus on building your scholars’ capacity to write purposely, poetically, and persuasively. We hope you will join us in our various writing campaigns this year.

We are extremely excited about school year 2024-2025. We have doubled our commitment to providing our scholars and servant leaders with opportunities for academic, cultural, and character development. Already we have more students dually enrolled in Sankofa and in the college than ever before. Based on feedback from you, this year we are bringing music back to our school. We hope to establish a choir and even offer keyboard lessons to students on a first come first serve basis. In addition, we hope to pilot a swimming program for some of our middle school students. Most excitedly, in addition to our trip to Gambia and Jamaica, this year we are doing an international service project in Zanzibar, off the coast of Eastern, Africa. As you can see, this promises to be a year an extraordinary year.

Again, thank you for being a part of our village. We love being in community with you and pray that this year we will write a new Sankofa narrative that takes our success to the next level. Welcome back.

In Love and in Community,

Dr. Ayesha Imani, CEO and Baba Isa Clark, COO

Mission and Vision

Sankofa Freedom Academy is a college preparatory K-12 freedom school that will build on the Philadelphia Freedom Schools model to increase literacy and numeracy levels throughout the community, promote respect for scholarship, servant leadership, conflict resolution, and cultural democracy. Through the use of African Centered and culturally responsive methodologies, Sankofa Freedom Academy will engender in its students, staff, and community a love for learning, pride in heritage and a commitment to personal and societal transformation. By operationalizing the adage, “each one / teach one”, Sankofa Freedom Academy Charter School will build intergenerational learning communities in which each and every person is responsible to learn in order to teach, and teach in order to build a better world.
