“Dugsi academy is an innovative school because it has chosen to focus on teaching recent immigrant and first-generation students from east african countries (although the school is open to and welcoming of students from all backgrounds). These students have a unique set of needs that are addressed by dugsi academy's program. By blending an american and east african staff, dugsi academy creates an environment in which school staff are well versed in the culture and needs of the school's students. This in turn allows the school to address those needs and teach to students' strengths while addressing their weaknesses in a safe and supportive learning environment where students can thrive. Additionally, dugsi academy works to develop strong community partnerships. Students cannot learn effectively if their needs are not being met at home. School staff work with families and community support organizations so that families receive as much support as possible. This way, students can continue to learn and grow at home and feel secure while they are at school.”
