WHAT'S YOUR DREAM? BETTER YET, WHAT'S YOUR PLAN?
What's the career that you've always dreamt about doing? A lawyer? An entrepreneur? A nurse? You know, they say that "dreams do come true". I agree. Dreams do come true, but not without a plan. Unfortunately, many people have a dream, but don't have a plan that will make that dream a reality. Even worse, those that don't graduate high school often think that "the dream" is over and that they have to settle for whatever life brings their way. What if I told you that wasn't true. What if I told you that you could still earn your high school diploma, rediscover your dream, but this time, walk away with a plan that shows you step by step how to make that dream a reality? Are you ready to invest your time and energy in becoming a success? If you answered yes, Operation Reconnect is the place for you. What do you have to do? Sign up, pass an academic test, write an inspirational essay, complete life skills courses taught by experienced life coaches that care, identify a career path, meet with your advisor to come up with a success strategy, graduate, and make your dreams a reality! And we're with you every step of the way, providing you with the documentation, referrals, and leads that you need to get on the right path. What are you waiting for? Sign up for our next orientation today!!

At Operation Reconnect, we take pride in the requirements placed on graduation and believe that each and every student that fulfills our requirement for graduation not only deserves their diploma, but deserves unlimited success. For many of our students this is a second, sometimes third, chance at getting on the right track and we can appreciate the effort required to overcome not only physical, but mental obstacles that prevent us from reaching our full potential. We require our students to be committed to developing a plan for success without waiver. We also follow up with our students to ensure they have access to resources in the community that will aid them on their journey. Our goal is to assist our students in becoming more productive members of their family, community, and society at large. If you are serious about getting back on track, this is the program for you!!
The Uhuru Academy is a private school, accredited through the National Black Independent School Organization. Graduating from our school is the same as graduating from any other private or home school. According to federal law, any institution of higher learning that receives tax payer dollars must accept home school and private school students. We are not a diploma mill. We are an accelerated high school diploma program that prepares youth and adults for higher education and the world of work. We have had several graduates to go on and attain college degrees, certifications, and meaningful employment. We follow up with our graduates, verify their education when needed, and advocate for them whenever they run into challenges. Our diploma is only as "valid" as those who earn it, therefore, we work vigorously to ensure that our graduates are serious about success.
At the Uhuru Academy, we fulfill all legal requirements regarding education: 1) extensive coursework, 2) comprehensive assessment, 3) detailed documentation & proof of work. As a private institution, we exercise our right to certify and graduate our students independent of the federal and state government. Considering the graduation crisis plaguing working class communities, programs such as ours, that operate in good faith, serve as viable and empowering options for those that have become irreparably disconnected from the public school system.
