Alpha Academy

Alpha Academy is our Signature Leadership and College Readiness program, which educates, empowers, and exposes young men of color, grades 9 through 12 from schools in Brooklyn to the skills, tools, behaviors, and role models necessary for success in life, leadership, and college.

The goal is to develop emotionally intelligent leaders by focusing on three levels of development: the individual, the individual in relation to others, and the individual in relation to society as a whole. Particular emphasis will be placed on Academic Excellence, Goal Setting, Personal Development, Professional Development, Etiquette, and Health and Wellbeing.

Alpha Academy will discuss the College Admissions process, tips for a strong application, and how to utilize valuable resources when making the transition from high school to college.

The program will run during the 2025–2026 school year, meeting in person one Saturday every month from 10:00 am–1:00 pm, and periodic virtual sessions (date & time TBD). There will also be occasional recreational activities and field trips. Permission forms will be provided.

Currently applications are closed until the following school year.
