The
African American Academy for Accelerated Learning (AAAL) is an
educational 501(c)3 nonprofit that acts as a convener for community
discussion and provides enrichment resources to educators, children,
parents, and all who are interested in advancing opportunities
for African-American children.
We want to enact change in the way African-American
children are educated. Not only to close the gap in academic achievement,but
also to create cultural enrichment education that fosters the positive
personal growth of our children.

Our ultimate purpose is to achieve an increase in
the number of African American students who reflect pride in their
cultural roots by reaching a higher level of academic achievement.
We seek changes that create a more collaborative, multi-pronged
approach to educational change, involving educators, students, and
parents. And most importantly, we seek to expose educators to cultural
competent strategies that affirm African American children. |
