Harambee Institute of Science and Technology Charter School
Our Mission, Vision, and Core Values
Harambee Institute exists to offer our community an education with a focus on the origins, current status, and future of the African world.
Our mission is to educate students to succeed as global citizens with a clear awareness of “who I am, where I am from, where I am going, and how I get there.”
Our vision is a collective and informed African American community utilizing science and technology as a means of promoting education for self-reliance, locally and globally.
Our core values are:
- Greatness: Pursuit of excellence in all we do
- Accountability: Owning what we do and who we are
- Innovation: Open to new ideas with a growth mindset
- Integrity: Honesty, transparency, and unity in all we do
