What your gift makes possible.
The Academy is just getting started. Here is what your support helps us build.
“Students should not have to leave the primary curriculum to find themselves. They should be present from the beginning.”Yaya Kittles
Founder, Bold Minds
A first lesson that starts with them
A fourth grader opens a history lesson and meets Mansa Musa, the scholars of Timbuktu, and the builders of Great Zimbabwe on day one. Your gift writes lessons like that one.
A seat in a live AI course
A 15 year old learns how AI works, questions it, and builds a helper of her own in Intro to Generative and Agentic AI. Your gift can cover her seat.
One place to learn together
Parents who have pieced together books, museums, and weekend programs finally have one place where it all connects. Your gift helps build it.
For individuals. For organizations.
