The core principle to school success is a comprehensive understanding of the “why.” The mission of My Brothers Teacher is to give urban schools the tools and resources to bridge students’ purpose and passion with the school’s mission and daily operation through the utilization of the community’s own resources. We believe that this is the key to helping students value education; improving school culture and academic mastery. Change the Mindset. Change the Culture. Change the Community.
