A little history about BNTA!
Here in the Royal Castle of Beta Nu Theta Academy, we are dedicated to empowering girls in grades 3rd through 12th to reach their full potential.

Our mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and inspiring space where girls can grow in confidence, leadership, and resilience. Through a combination of mentorship, skill-building workshops, and community involvement, we aim to equip the next generation of girls with the tools they need to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our programs are designed to address the unique challenges faced by girls today, from navigating peer pressure and self-esteem issues to pursuing interests in STEM, arts, leadership, and much more. We believe that every girl deserves the opportunity to discover her passions, set meaningful goals, and build the skills necessary to achieve them.

Founded in 2013 originally as Royalty Association, Inc. by LaTanya Parker, we’ve been committed to fostering a sense of belonging, community, and empowerment for girls of all backgrounds. By connecting them with strong role models and providing opportunities for personal growth, we help girls develop the confidence to become the leaders of tomorrow.

On February 9, 2015, 7 young ladies known as “7 Crowned Jewels” laid the foundation to our motto,
“Be the change you want to see in the world” with sheer determination and poise.
