Our Focus
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
At Nsoromma School we use both traditional and innovative teaching methods to create a stimulating and nurturing environment in which teens and children can blossom and shine. We have high expectations and we challenge students to achieve at their highest level. We build on what students bring and help then identify and use their strengths as they handle their challenges and move forward. Academic excellence is a realistic and necessary expectation for our students.
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
We encourage cooperation, demonstrate respect of self and others, and stimulate a thirst for knowledge and understanding. We believe that all things in the universe are interconnected and interdependent and that what we do affects not only us individually, but also affects those around us. We desire to build character and cultivate values that support and celebrate life.
CULTURAL AWARENESS
From the temples of ancient Kemet and the universities of West Africa, to the secret reading lessons during the period of enslavement in the Americas, and the free schools of the Reconstruction period, academic excellence has been a part of African and African American culture. Therefore, we utilize the strengths of our cultural ways of learning to facilitate academic excellence. We believe students should know and appreciate their own culture as a basis for exploring and understanding others.
