"A Dream Determined Academy of Distinction (ADDAD) is committed to providing the ultimate educational experience built around the mental forces of Freedom, Growth and Joy, edifying the African American child as a Deliberate Creator, their Family as a Fierce Protector, and their Community as a Steadfast Supporter, through teaching, learning, and sharing the progressive principles essential for creating a Wholistic Paradigm Shift to lead a life of Purpose, Passion, Positivity, and Prosperity.

A Dream Determined is a nonprofit organization serving youth in the community through A Dream Determined Academy of Distinction (ADDAD), an educational experience designed for African American students guiding a Paradigm Shift towards securing a healthy and happy human experience.
ADDAD's foundation is built on diverse subject matter, not taught in conventional school settings, considered essential growth tools and methodologies to fortify the student's present and future by offering program structure involving and supporting the student's family and the local community to expand the village necessary to edify the student.
ADDAD's introductory focal point is an Afterschool Program entitled LEGACY DEFINED, geared towards 6th-8th grades, adding one grade level above and one below each year following, developing a comprehensive K-12th program within the next six years. We employ a wholistic approach to learning. We believe that all things are connected and should be taught in harmony with a student's divine path. Our guides and mentors employ multisensory teaching techniques covering twelve learning styles.
