At a glance

The state of the movement, as of May 21, 2026.

A nonprofit founded in 2026 by eleven families of African descent from Quebec: not a school, not a tutoring service, but a community led by parents with the rigour of an elite program.

Our mission

Identify, equip, document.

Every child starts with an honest academic diagnostic. From there: an individualized plan, targeted competitions, rigorous follow-up — and a documented file that proves, by the end of the journey, the road travelled.

Our five values: excellence, rigour, solidarity, identity, transparency. See the full mission →

Our motto

"We're not preparing students. We're building a generation."

By 2035: a documented cohort of excellence, admitted to the world's best institutions, proudly carrying the names of their families and communities of origin.

Vision 2035

By 2035, a documented cohort of excellence.

"They will carry the name of their families, their communities, their countries of origin — with pride, and with proof." BlackGenius Canada is not a project. It's a legacy under construction.
