Welcome to the Sarah Jane Academy™
Human-centered certifications for people-first professionals
The Work World is Changing.
We certify the ones changing it.
At Sarah Jane Academy™, nothing we do is typical. Recognized as one of the top 10 DEI certifiers by the Academy for HR Innovation, we equip our practitioners to navigate the "gray" areas that can disrupt organizational culture. With hundreds of alumni worldwide, our practitioners benefit from cutting-edge research, personalized 1:1 time with expert facilitators, and access to a tight-knit, supportive community.
We aren't powered by philosophers in the Ivy League, but by Johnson Squared Consulting, an award-winning consultancy that has provided long-term advisement at institutions like NASA and the Southern California Association of Governments and facilitation for companies like Amazon, Uber and many others. The insights we provide are from practitioners on the ground. That's the Sarah Jane difference.

Our Name
We have a rich heritage of equity, courage and resilience
Sarah Jane Academy™ bears the name of Sarah Jane Woodson Early, trailblazing abolitionist, feminist and the first Black woman professor in the United States. She also happens to be the ancestral aunt of our co-founders, Dr. Jade Singleton, DEI Strategist and Noelle Johnson, Global DEI Practitioner. “I couldn’t think of a better, more worthy name for what this program stands for,” Dr. Singleton shared. “Her lifelong pursuit of educational access and equity lives on in this space.”
