A. W. Brown-Fellowship Leadership Academy

The A. W. Brown – Fellowship Leadership Academyis a third generation elementary school presently serving students from pre-kindergarten three-year-olds through sixth grade. Founded in 1999 by the Reverend Armond W. Brown, this charter represents the most contemporary and aggressive trend of thought in public pro-choice education today.

Although the school is technically classified “public”, what makes it unique is the rare fusion of the tuition-free aspect of traditional public school education and the rigorous academic requirements, discipline, and learning climate historically associated with private school education. Armed with a faculty of the most experienced and well equipped teachers in North Texas, the school is clearly committed to the mission of “building a firm academic, attitudinal, and moral foundation that will support a lifetime of high achievement for each of its students in the classroom, the home, and society.”

Brown – Fellowship is located in the urban southern sector of Dallas, Texas, commonly known as Oak Cliff and serves a racially diverse body of students (98% African American, 1% Hispanic, and .01% Anglo). Our student body population is predominantly comprised of moderate to low-income families, with over 86% of the student population considered at-risk or economically disadvantaged.
