Imhotep Institute Charter High School and Sankofa Freedom Academy Charter School Partnership Strength in Unity! Imhotep Institute Charter High School and Sankofa Freedom Academy Charter School are embarking upon a partnership to strengthen student outcomes in both schools and to affirm the efficacy of culturally responsive/social justice pedagogies as part of a holistic academically rigorous education. Sankofa Freedom Academy Charter School is this country’s first school based on the Freedom School model. It is a K-12 institution committed to providing an education that is based on scholarship, cultural democracy, and social activism. It has had impressive results in its first six years of serving children in the Frankford community. Imhotep Institute Charter High School has been a trailblazer in African Centered Education nationally for the past 18 years. It looks forward to continuing to serve the West Oak Lane community and beyond as a culturally responsive institution that is excited about growing as a center for the exploration of Science, Math, and Technology, as articulated in its original charter. While both schools will remain independent as they deliver their own unique missions as articulated in their charters, they will capitalize on opportunities to share cross-curricular programming, instructional strategies, socialization programs, and professional development activities. Moreover, these schools look forward to forming collaborative teams of parents, teachers, students, and administrative leaders across institutions. In these times of great vulnerability for independent charter schools, Imhotep and Sankofa look to establish a new model for school collaboration based on communal principles rooted in the African traditions that both schools revere! Together these institutions aim to show there truly is strength in Unity!
