Joy-Filled Education for Life
The first-ever, all-boys, faith-informed, Afrocentric, Montessori school for ages 3 to 6 years
Our Mission
Our mission is to be a safe, nurturing environment and empowering refuge that affirms, inspires, and supports Black boys to become who God designed them to be. (MGM™) serves boys 3-6 years old, with plans to expand our programming to ultimately serve toddlers through 3rd grade, including girls.
MGM is OPEN and ADMITTING 3 and 4 year olds for the 2024-2025 school year!
Our Vision
MGM™ is the first school of its kind – locally and nationally – to blend together Afrocentric culture and history, faith through the Christian ethos of liberation theology, and Montessori pedagogy. Our vision is built on the knowledge that Black boys are beautiful and brilliant, but most current educational opportunities don't allow them to fully realize their potential.
“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” (Psalm 30:5).
It’s morning time for Black boys in Minnesota!
Our Core Values & Curriculum
MGM™'s core values and curriculum are captured in the acronym F.A.M., which stands for Faith, Afrocentric and Montessori. F.A.M. is also an endearing colloquial abbreviation for "family." With the child and family at the center within a loving, supportive F.A.M. environment, little boys will be empowered at an early age with the foundation necessary to develop into well-educated, self-respecting, joy-filled Black men who serve their families, community, and the world.
