Learn about racial ethnic schools and colleges

The importance of the racial ethnic schools and colleges of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is demonstrated in the continuing partnership between the two entities. The institutions have provided quality education to people who have contributed immeasurably to the church at large and to the world. Students are educated for the professions of their choice in an environment which supports and nurtures racial and ethnic heritage.

Many of the college students are the first in their family to attend college and come from low- to moderate-income families. They may be marginalized and would not be accepted at other institutions of higher learning. The secondary schools receive students earlier than typical schools and prepare them for acceptance at institutions of higher learning.

To many students, these institutions offer the additional support which is needed to truly excel. Tutoring and special courses in math, science and English encourage continued success as the students advance in their studies. This support gives many students a "second chance," resulting in confident, competent, qualified men and women who emerge as leaders in society.

These institutions have a covenant relationship with the General Assembly through the General Assembly Mission Council and the relationship is guided by the Articles of agreement (8.3 and 8.4) adopted at the time of reunion in 1983.
