Milwaukee African American Immersion High
School
The Milwaukee African American Immersion High School provides a unique
educational setting for students and parents interested in a high school
experience centered in an exploration of the history, culture, traditions and
influences of Africa and how these influences support deeper exploration of
the African-American experience.
The Milwaukee African American Immersion School offers a variety of
credit recovery programs, a GED program, and a Parent and Community
Resource center. In essence, an African Centered Education: places the
African American student at the center of the educational experience as a
subject rather that an object allowing for an inclusion process which gives
equal representation of all groups rather than one group over or below any
other group; exposes students to a world-view experience that relates to all
people, cultures, and traditions from the context of their reality thereby
enhancing their own self-esteem, positive self-imaging and higher standard
of educational excellence; acknowledges the scientific fact that humanity
began in Africa and celebrates the culture, heritage, contributions and
traditions of all humans.
