If you’re interested in enrolling your child into Kanye West’s Donda Academy, be prepared to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
According to Rolling Stone, two families whose children attend the academy shared that parents must sign non-disclosure agreements for the school.
Tamar Andrews, a consultant to the school, told the outlet that parents only have to sign an “informal agreement.” However, he did not specify what the agreement was or included.
“Honestly, we don’t care if people know about the school,” Andrews said. “The people that want to come to the school are looking for a good Christian school in that area, and they know that we’re there. There is also a certain notoriety that comes with being affiliated with Donda. So, I don’t know that we have to advertise, which is a blessing and a curse.”
Kanye’s longtime friend, Malik Yusef, agreed with Andrews’ statement. Yusef added that the academy offers things to students that other schools lack.
“People choose to bring their kids to Donda Academy for a sense of privacy,” Yusef said. “A sense of care, a sense of concern, a sense of love, an environment of health, and an environment of wealth, an environment of learning, and putting God as a focus.”
He added, “The process of Donda school is for the parishioners, for the attendees. I don’t think Kanye needs to tell the world what he’s doing so that he can be under more scrutiny.”
The academy’s tuition is currently $15,000 a year and has an enrollment of 100 students. Half of the students are on scholarships or have received financial assistance. The other half consists of children from Kanye’s collaborators and other celebrity friends who can afford the expensive price tag. In the meantime, the school is not yet accredited, but according to Andrews, they have applied with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
