Parents Center
While attending Sojourner Truth Academy, students will become scholar-leaders, who are creative problem solvers who understand the value of community and pursue opportunities to strengthen it. Sojourner Truth scholars will be exposed to a variety of colleges and universities and professional disciplines. In addition, our students will have relevant experience positively impacting the school community and the community at large. Our focus on the 5 Pillars gives students concrete goals for their academic and character development. Success at Sojourner Truth Academy is constantly encouraged and consistently rewarded. We believe in educating the "whole child," and expect and support parental and community engagement in our school. All members of the Sojourner Truth Academy community play an integral part in building and maintaining a school culture that makes students feel safe and supported and will empower and equip them to be leaders for change in their community through college preparation and social justice.
