By Cooper Dowd, Staff Writer

Recently rapper Kanye West announced plans for a Christian academy and released the first trailer for Yeezy Christian Academy (YCA) via Twitter.

The video features his daughter North, 7, and son Saint, 4, and other family members who all wore blue YCA T-shirts.

In the trailer, the children repeat lines from a poem that West posted on Twitter shortly after.

“Dear Future, I still believe in you. We still believe in you. We believe in our families,” West’s children said.

“In our future, we will heal. Our future has homes for everyone. Our future has food for everyone. Our future has love. Jesus loves everyone. Let’s lead with love! Our future is waiting on us!” the kids continued.

In September, West claimed that he would start a school based on the “founding pillars” of faith, music, communication, collaboration, and creativity.

YCA’s official certification as an educational program and enrollment details are not confirmed.

In a press release, West announced the academy as his “latest initiative for education.”

The release does not go into detail but also says, “the video demonstrates the responsibility citizens hold for the future of children in America.”

West said he is thankful to God for the opportunity and says that it is an opportunity for the country to heal.
