The lack of transparency about the inner workings of Donda Academy raises questions about what’s actually happening behind the scenes. 'I don’t think Kanye needs to tell the world what he’s doing,” says Malik Yusef, a producer and longtime collaborator.
The ostensible head of the school listed on its website is principal and executive director Brianne Campbell, who also leads the school’s choir program. Buthas learned that Campbell has never held a formal position as an educator. According to her resume, Campbell’s closest brush with a teaching position appears to be running her own piano, guitar and singing tutoring business headquartered from her apartment.
For the 2021-2022 school year, Donda Academy launched its all-star Donda Doves basketball team alongside 21 students from kindergarten through eighth grade, according to the California Department of Education. In late August, the institution opened its doors to roughly 100 students, with proud parents posting images of their children heading off to class in their all-black uniforms.
But the lack of transparency about the inner workings of the school raises questions about what’s actually happening behind the scenes. Tamar Andrews, a consultant for Donda with two decades of experience in early childhood education programs, confirmed tothat parents were asked to sign an “informal agreement” when questioned if families had to sign confidentiality agreements to enroll.
Accreditation is key in ensuring graduating high schoolers’ credits and diplomas will be accepted by colleges, as some institutions may not recognize students’ credits or diplomas from unaccredited schools. Among the criteria to be accredited, WASC requires the school to have a chief administration officer who is qualified for the position, as well as qualified instructional staff.
One person who worked with the school’s culinary team said they were involved in developing “elevated high-concept coffee, tea and fruit focused beverages for kids, parents and faculty.” “Think like distilled chicory coffee shaved ice with milk syrup,” they say. “We led a food science class for the students as well where the kids can learn [the] fundamentals of cooking.”
And while some on social media mocked the school’s offering of parkour or freerunning, Yusef says it’s an embodiment of what Donda stands for. “Kanye’s whole ideology is about freedom, and freerunning is a great way for kids to exercise and exert themselves and use their energy without feeling competitive,” he says. “We don’t necessarily want to force kids to be as competitive; we want them to experience their own self-efficacy and then gauge from there who they are.
