WHAT IS SANKOFA?
VISION
A collaborative school culture focused on student learning, character development and a commitment to renewing the local community through hope, healing and high-quality education.
MISSION
We are creating an environment that is safe, nurturing and seeks to meet the students' academic, social and emotional needs through mastery learning, mindfulness and a rigorous education.
TRANSFORMATIONAL SCHOOL CULTURE
When a school has a healthy culture, the professionals within it will seek the tools they need to accomplish their goal of universal student achievement; they will give a school new life by overcoming the staff division that halts transformation.
COLLECTIVE

It takes a village! Our teachers, staff, families, community partners and leaders are all in this work to ensure that our children have support wrapping around them.
