Ubuntu Village
UBUNTU VILLAGE was established in 2015 for the purpose of ensuring my Afrikan children the development of a strong positive self-image; values in self-reliance and integrity; kindness towards others; and the achievement of academic excellence. These goals became the mission of Ubuntu Village. Today, it gives me great pleasure to be able to open my doors to include your Young Scholars as well.
Ubuntu, pronounced /uu-Boon-too/, is a term originating in Afrikan humanistic and social philosophy. It is most commonly translated as “I am because of who we all are.” It is a philosophy that teaches that the success of the group is above that of the individual and where the community is one of the building blocks of a great society. Ubuntu Village, an independent Afrikan institution, was erected as a response to the need to rescue black and brown children enduring decaying urban environments. It evolved out of the critical need to analyze the miseducation of black and brown children across this nation.
