Message from the CEO/ Founder
 

It is with great excitement that we begin our 14th year of operation. We are so humbled by your confidence that we are sincere and committed to providing an excellent, holistic education that is powerful enough to make a difference in our lives, our communities, and our world. Together we can prepare ourselves and our children to realize our potential as a people who love excellence, honor scholarship and are committed to peace and justice.
 
 
 
We owe it to our ancestors to continue their legacy. We owe it to our elders to make them proud. We owe it to one another to work hard, and be prepared for whatever challenges that come along. What an honor it is to be the first k-12 public Freedom School in this country. We have the opportunity to provide a model to this nation of education that is academically rigorous, culturally relevant, and transformative locally and globally. We thank you for this opportunity and we pledge to you to make excellence in scholarship, culture, and activism our sacred pledge. Working together as a community of parents, educators, scholars, and servant leaders we shall transform ourselves, assist our children in uncovering their gifts and talents, build a model for an education that empowers and transforms, heal our communities, be better keepers of the earth, and in our own way make the world a better place.
 
We are proud to be Sankofa Freedom Academy Charter School and thank you for joining our movement to build intergenerational communities of scholars, educators, and activists.
Striving in Love for Educational Excellence:

Dr. Ayesha Imani, CEO

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.
