Thank you for your interest in the Dapper Elite Academy. We’re truly excited about the opportunity for your child to attend and begin their path to greatness! To follow are some questions and answers to general inquiries about Dapper Elite Academy.

What is the Dapper Elite Academy?
The Dapper Elite Academy is a prep institute with a focus on helping to develop emerging black youth into tomorrow’s economic leaders. The Dapper Elite Academy will offer preparatory classes to help revitalize black Wall Street elements within the black communities. The four preparatory classes of focus are Dapper Greatness, Etiquette, Finance & Black American Studies. Success is a recipe, and we strongly believe that offering one class alone will not produce the “Greatness Cake”.  A chocolate cake cannot be created with flour alone. There are different ingredients to create a delicious cake; we view it the same way regarding economic success.  This is why we provide experienced and qualified staff members to present to each student the tools necessary for their future success.

Founder
Dapper Elite Academy was founded in May 2016 by Nicci Canada, Founder, President, and CEO of Dapper Street Productions. With a passion and love for economic empowerment and freedom, Nicci founded the Dapper Elite Academy to help revitalize elements of Black Wall Street.
