Welcome to Statesmen College Preparatory Academy for Boys.
Our boys are inspired by high ideals and the pursuit of success as directed by a set of values. They imagine themselves as heroes that use their powers for the good of their families, their communities and those around them. That reality informed the establishment of a school program developed around the values of Relationships, Rigor, Relevance and Resilience. Those values illuminate the core beliefs of Statesmen and serve as the foundation on which we build a college-going academic school culture of efficacy for our boys and a professional culture of continuous learning for adults.
Boys love to learn, to be challenged, to compete and to be authentically seen as excellent. When it is hard and they know it, they are naturally inclined to want to accomplish this. When they can clearly see what they need to do to get better and are supported in getting better, they go for it.
Boys thrive in environments where they feel loved'. We recognize that students and families have stated what the research bears out - that well attended relationships are the bedrock on which results for Black and Latino boys is built. As a pinnacle value upon which the Statesmen Way/North Star Strategy is built, we define relationships as warm, caring and trusting connections that exist within and between individuals and groups.
Boys bounce back. They enjoy 'flow', the experience of being deeply and singularly focused on an activity for an extended period of time, and crave the experience of authentically getting better at something in a way that is noticeable. Risk aversion, a primary impediment to this, is only present in an environment where they are not protected against the negative stigma that is the result of having failure associated with weakness.
When it matters to them, boys work even harder. Like all learners, young male scholars want to find themselves reflected in the content they are exposed to, the way that the content is engaged and how that content can be employed in pursuit of initiatives that support their community. They want to know that they matter and that this matters.
