The nonprofit is pursuing a charter school initiative and will apply for charter school status in CT. The name "PROUD" Academy stands for "Proudly Respecting Our Unique Differences" Academy.[1][2]
The academy will focus on being a safe space free of harassment and bullying for individuals who may have traditionally faced discrimination and harassment. The school will support a broadly inclusive student body bringing together students of different sexual orientations, gender identities/expressions, origins, and faiths.[3][4][5]
