The Teachers at Brainfood Academy stand out from the competition. Some of the brightest minds have been screened and vetted for our school. They are not only experts in their field; they also like instructing others. Likewise, our teachers appreciate the value of free thinking and have the capacity to shape young minds for the love of learning. Using this information, teachers can assist pupils in developing independent thought. As a result students will learn to distinguish between facts and views, and realize that their voice is important.
Meet Our Magnificent Teachers of Brainfood Academy
At Brainfood Academy, our teachers are committed to our purpose. According to our mission, we endeavor to teach and educate our students. Therefore, they will not be forced into accepting a single notion or belief. We want our students to realize they have a voice. Moreover, Brainfood Academy wants to provide children with the skills to distinguish between fact and opinion and the tools and support they need to establish and pursue their goals and desires.
Having said that, it was difficult to find the ideal professors for our platform. Nonetheless, we believe we have succeeded because we were patient and asked all the right questions. We will be bringing on more teachers as we open our school with the same fundamental principles: to educate rather than indoctrinate.
Meanwhile, here are the Teachers with whom our academic year at Brainfood Academy will begin:
Meet Dr. Hawkins
As a retired educator and entrepreneur, the quote by Fredrick Douglas, “It is easier to build strong children than repair broken adults,” has resonated for many years in the mind of Cassandra Mmabatho Hawkins.

So using her degrees in Speech, Theater and Communications, she allows children to express themselves and stimulates their creativity to problem solve. Cassandra Mmabatho Hawkins, Doctor of Ministry, enjoys teaching Bible stories used to teach character development and help children grow spiritually. In addition to all she does, she is most excited about directing stage plays and musicals that teach children, teens, and young adults how to make their best choices.
