Empowering Futures, One Child at a Time

Our Mission

Star Achievers Academy bridges the educational and cultural gap faced by Black minority children, particularly those from refugee and asylum-seeking families in Scotland. We provide tailored support that enhances their learning experiences and ensures they thrive academically and socially.

Our Vision

We envision a future where all children, regardless of their background, have equal opportunities to achieve their full potential. A Scotland where diversity is celebrated, and every child feels valued, represented, and empowered through education.

Our Story

Star Achievers Academy was born from a profound recognition of the unique challenges faced by refugee and asylum-seeking children in Scotland’s educational system. Our founders, themselves from diverse backgrounds, witnessed firsthand the struggles of these children to adapt to new educational environments while navigating cultural differences and language barriers.

What began as informal tutoring sessions has evolved into a comprehensive support program dedicated to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to shine. Today, Star Achievers Academy stands as a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change in our community.
