Famu College Of Education Alumni 💚🧡💚🧡💚🧡🐍🐍🐍. We can't express how glad we were to get this COE intern Courtney Wright 10 years ago. She more than meets and exceeds expectations. She had no silver spoon, she had to make it work. In this short time, she’s gotten her bachelors, masters degrees, and Phd uploading in 1 year. She taught in The Brownsville Preparatory Institute, LLC, public schools, China, South Africa. She is back at Brownsvilleprep as the Director of Operations. Continue to look for great things from her in her career. We are happy to be taking this journey with her💃🏾🥰.

This past week we had our 17th Annual Commencement Program. It was such a joy celebrating and honoring our students as they have worked so hard to get here. 🎉

For many years, Brownsville has emphasized the importance of providing students with a rigorous academic education while immersing them in diverse cultural experiences. This approach has enabled our students to emerge as influential leaders within society upon completing our program. The impact of Brownsville has extended beyond families nationwide, and now we aim to extend our reach to families across the globe. To turn this aspiration into reality, we kindly request your assistance.

Our Brownsville Seeds of Literacy has now launched its $1,000,000 Capital Campaign.

“10 years ago, I was blessed to receive the gift of life. I have not taken it for granted, nor have I taken for granted those who saw me through. Big shout out to my son making the donation at the age of 25. Without the support of & , | may not have made it to transplant. I believe that I am making this transplant matter for more than just myself and my family. The ability to get up every day and go to and make a difference in the lives of the children I serve, is God's greatest gift to me. To God be the glory!!!” - Mrs. Rita Brown

Happy International Women’s Day! 💃🏾🥳

International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women's equality.

For many years, Brownsville has pushed students to experience a rigorous academic career while engaging in rich cultural experiences. That has allowed our students to become leaders within society after their completion of our program. Brownsville has impacted families across the nation and we have now reached a point in time where we are looking to impact families across the globe. In order to make this a reality, we need your help.

As you all may have heard, our wait list has surpassed the 300 mark. This year, we have only been able to enroll 16 new students. The number of students on our waiting list will continue to grow, thus we must too. This May, we are launching our capital campaign, asking for our community to invest in Brownsville. We have an obligation to serve those who need it most.

A few of our projected goals include tripling our current population size, accrediting the curriculum on a national level, opening up the grounds for school teachers to come in to experience professional development opportunities centered around teacher concepts, partnering with local schools within Leon county to offer enrichment opportunities for students in need, and increasing our current teacher salaries so that we can become more competitive in the market.

As we continue to stay true to the mission of Brownsville, which is to inspire and challenge our future leaders to maximize their intellectual potential and character development in order to contribute to the growth of our communities and society as a whole, we must enter into a transformative space that will align with our new goals. All of which will transform not only the lives of children within Tallahassee but those around the world.

Help us to make the world a better place.
We look forward to your partnership.
See you this May.
