THE RACIAL MAKE-UP OF THE SCHOOL IS 97% AFRICAN AMERICAN, 1% CAUCASIAN, AND 2% HISPANIC AND ASIAN.THE FIVE INITIATIVES THAT MAKE NELSON MANDELA UNIQUE ARE: 1) SPALDING READING, 2) MINDFULNESS, 3) RECESS EVERY 90 MINUTES, 4) ALL SCHOLARS PLAY VIOLIN, AND 5) YEAR-ROUND SCHOOL. A CLIMATE SURVEY ISSUED TO ALL SCHOLARS AND FAMILIES REFLECTED A POSITIVE SCHOOL CLIMATE AND APPROVAL OF THE UNIQUE INITIATIVES. PARENTS DO NOT PAY TUITION FOR THEIR SCHOLAR TO ATTEND THE SCHOOL, BUT ARE REQUIRED TO VOLUNTEER. AT THIS TIME THERE IS A WAITING LIST FOR ALL GRADE LEVELS.
