THERE IS AN AFRICAN PROVERB THAT SAYS... “UNTIL THE LION HAS HIS OR HER OWN STORYTELLER, THE HUNTER WILL ALWAYS BE THE HERO.”
Atlanta, GA

LAUNCHING FALL 2026 

*"There is an African proverb that says, 'Until the lion has its own storyteller, the hunter will always be the hero.'*

Our students deserve new storytellers—ones that reflect their strength, legacy, and potential. At Sankoré Prep, we are committed to empowering our students to reclaim their narratives and become the heroes of their own stories. ~ Atlanta, 2026

THERE IS AN AFRICAN PROVERB THAT SAYS...

“Until the lion has his or her own storyteller, the hunter will always be the hero.”

Many of our young people today still attend schools that look, feel, and educate like those in 1893. We have lost community, programs and reforms are driven by external preference versus truly listening to the needs and expectations of the community.

Sankore’ Collegiate Preparatory Academy is designed to help our children develop, create, and roar their own story, discover and lift their own voice, and prepare them to succeed in every field of human endeavor of their choosing.
