What Makes Ashé Prep Unique?

 

Ashé Prep is a P-12 (preschool to 12th grade) school that centers its educational approach on the needs of Black students, aiming to prepare them for leadership and success in their communities. The school's vision emphasizes that focusing on the education of Black students can lead to liberation for all, showcasing a commitment to equity and justice. Our mission involves cultivating the genius of all individuals by prioritizing the education of Black students and preparing them to excel and serve as leaders. The core values, based on the principles of Kwanzaa, guide the school's culture and decision-making, promoting unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith/convection. Through culturally responsive teaching methods, community-focused projects, student leadership development, and regular creative celebrations, Ashé Prep seeks to provide a holistic education that supports academic, non-academic, and social-emotional growth for all students, especially those from marginalized backgrounds.
