  • To expand and elevate Lotus Academy to the next level of excellence, and to maintain it as a truly authentic African-centered, independent school for our young students.
  • To establish the Ray Wright Music Academy as one of the premier youth music schools offering professional musical instrument instruction and music theory classes to its students.

If you expect the present day school system to give history to you, you are dreaming. This we have to do ourselves.
