Stradford Preparatory Charter School for Boys will open its doors in fall of 2021. Our school is modeled after J.B. Stradford, a man who exemplified self-sufficiency, adaptability, and leadership to uplift the community of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Despite being born into slavery in 1861, J.B. Stradford learned to read and write at an early age. Through his father's persistence, defiance and strength, his family gained its freedom, enabling J.B. to attain an undergraduate degree at Oberlin College in Ohio, followed by a law degree from Indiana University.J.B. Stradford was an outspoken advocate for the African American community, promoting equal treatment and unity for his people. He believed in the promise of America to offer equal opportunities to all people willing to work hard. Stradford became a successful entrepreneur and moved to the Greenwood community in Tulsa Oklahoma in 1899. Stradford bought and sold land to African American families and businesses, creating a thriving economy within the town of Greenwood, which would eventually be known as the "Black Wall Street.It is the same relentless pursuit of excellence that is both the inspiration and the mission of Stradford Preparatory Charter School for Boys. Our recent 2020 partnership with Brick Education Network has enhanced that mission and strengthened our ability to help these young men begin to BLASE (Brotherhood, Leadership, Adaptability, Self – Efficacy, & Excellence) their own paths to success. Stradford Prep and Brick Education Network will see to it that J.B. Stradford's resilience and success will continue to be a source of motivation and a shining example for all young men.
