OUR VALUES
Ashé Prep’s school culture is based on the seven principles of Kwanzaa, the Nguzo Saba:
UMOJA/UNITY
We come together as a family, community, nation, and people.
NIA/PURPOSE
We know the purpose of our lives and we build our community together.
KUUMBA/CREATIVITY
All that we touch in our lives and our community is more beautiful.
IMANI/CONVICTION
We believe in ourselves, our family, our community, our people, and our collective future.
KUJICHAGULIA/SELF-DETERMINATION
We define ourselves, name ourselves, and speak for ourselves.
UJAMAA/COOPERATIVE ECONOMICS
We build our own businesses and profit from them together.
UJIMA/COLLECTIVE WORK & RESPONSIBILITY
We build our community together, take on each other’s problems, and solve them together.
