At Bakari Academy, we believe that every child deserves an education that prepares them for a future full of possibilities — one where they don't just learn what to know, but how to think, adapt, and innovate. Our Future-Ready Microschool Model combines the best of traditional education with the skills your child needs to succeed in an ever-changing world.
The word Bakari is a Swahili term that means Promising. We operate under the philosophy that each child is unique and has God-given purpose and potential. We envision a world where Black and Brown children have equitable access and opportunities by which they can learn, develop, thrive, and fulfill their greatest potential.

What Makes Us Different from Other Schools?
Guided by Afrocentric principles combined with a Montessori inspired approach, our program connects traditional subject matter such as literacy, math, science, and social studies with creative and cultural activities.
Research confirms that there is a strong positive correlation between a child’s experience during their formidable years and their later success in personal and professional life. Positive affirmations help youth develop positive foundations on which to grow and thrive. Our approach to education encourages children to take full advantage of their potential, skills, and talents.
