Opening in fall 2026, the Afrocentric program at Benjamin E. Mays will offer a unique, enriching and rigorous educational experience, "through the lens of Black history," designed to empower all scholars to achieve their full potential. We are committed to fostering academic excellence, high self-esteem, and a profound appreciation for the rich diversity of humanity. Scholars will see themselves and their communities reflected in what they learn, building cultural pride, and a strong sense of identity.

 

We offer:

  • PreK (full day)
  • Discovery Club (fee-based, on-site)
  • Extended Day for Learning (EDL)
  • Community Education after-school programs (fee-based)
