Last year Ye "formally known as Kanye" West's Christian private academy, Donda, reached a turning point after briefly shutting down and reopening, and then getting hit with multiple lawsuits from several former teachers [click here and here if you missed that].

KANYE West's Christian private school is still in operation and has been rebranded with a focus on basketball, choir, and dance, as the rapper has hired top choreographers.
The 46-year-old star founded the unaccredited Los Angeles school, with tuition priced at $15,000 a year, in 2021.
Despite two lawsuits filed by former staffers over the alleged bizarre practices at Donda Academy and its original ranch campus being left abandoned, it is still running.
Kanye has now rebranded the school as Donda Ray Academy, a nod to both his parents after it moved to a warehouse space in Chatsworth in the San Fernando Valley.
An insider told The U.S. Sun this week that Kanye "was determined not to give up on the kids" despite the school getting off to a rocky start.
A lawyer for the hitmaker, Gregory Suhr, denied allegations made by ex-teachers, saying depictions of the school as a dystopian institution designed to satisfy Kanye's idiosyncrasies were false.
The star had been accused of not providing chairs, serving the children only sushi, and the school not having windows because Kanye "doesn't like glass".
