BMT Academy

Opening doors of educational opportunity for all youth, free of charge.

How many Black male educators has your child experienced? How many do you think he will have in his lifetime? Data tells us that it is not likely that your child will be placed with a teacher that looks like him.

BMT Academy is a space where we are building a pathway for Black men to become educators, and also providing a safe space for young scholars to be seen, heard and supported by teachers who look like them.
