Becoming Collegiate Academy is the first elementary School founded on the principles of our nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

Celebrating Our Culture & Identity

Our founders grew up in the neighborhoods we serve, and our teachers and staff reflect the culture and have lived the experiences of our student and families.

Fostering Sisterhood & Brotherhood

Every student at Becoming Collegiate Academy has a
teacher-led peer group to support and celebrate the value that they personally bring to our community.

Building a Culture of Excellence

We care enough to expect the very best from everyone in our school community and make sure that our students have the support they need to succeed.

See for yourself and schedule a school tour.

A school tour is the best way to see how your child would thrive in a school that celebrates our culture and identity, fosters sisterhood and brotherhood, and builds a culture of excellence.

School tours are offered on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month. Visit our events page to sign up.

A staff member will contact you once we receive a form submission.
