Mission

The pursuit of quality education requires that American educational reform reflect learning environments that support the aspirations and developments of children of African Ancestry.The founders of this board are highly qualified advocates who recognized the need to convene as an institution to effectively service the needs of under-served African school children and their parents. The Board of Directors is comprised of individuals with proven records of community service and leadership. BEPAA is complimented by a dedicated support group, The Friends of Clarke House, who assist with activities and initiatives as required. BEPAA’s mission is to impact the formation of educational systems through research, position papers, interaction with school superintendents, principals, teachers parents and para-professionals to help insure that the educational needs of children of African Ancestry are met.
