KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING

Over the years, school curricula has in some cases failed to be inclusive of all races, and has in other cases been a source of negative information about certain races. This exclusion and lack of positive material has often led to racist and derogatory attitudes, as well as a lack of knowledge and understanding towards and within the targeted group(s).

In order to address these concerns, BBI's curriculum is designed to facilitate the development of children of all cultures, by building and improving the knowledge and understanding of all children. Although most of the material is Afrocentric, its content does not understate the significance of other cultures, rather it serves to place the cultural diversity and achievements of Africans in the correct place among the world's cultures.

This knowledge serves to place each and every race in a position of mutual respect and clearly shows the significance of all cultures in the minds and hearts of our diverse student population. BBI's programs can facilitate easy access to this knowledge, and as a result increase cultural understanding and racial harmony.
