Our Story
20 Years of Afrikan Centered Education
Our Afrikan Centered Schools are founded with principles of academic excellence, Afrikan consciousness and pride, integrity, and political awareness. We offer Math, Science, English, French, Afrikan Ourstory and Urban Agriculture and Sustainability along with Chess, Jiu-Jitsu and Tai-Chi. The goal is to educate, nurture and prepare our children to be global competitors. Meet our staff and learn how our students consistently exceed traditional standards.

The program we use, AIS Intelligence, has bold moves, with major shifts and reversals from traditional American education. This program is built on a lifestyle of Afrikan centered consciousness, movement towards a self determined existence, political education, and homeschooling. We recognize that in order for our Afrikan youth to be global critical-free thinkers, that many “normal” Western practices and tendencies have to be thrown away to truly embrace this revolutionary vehicle of education. This program is tightly regimented and disciplined environment is its key to success. We develop these thinkers’ potential at their own pace through frequency, duration, and techniques of FLOW [© AIS Intelligence].
Our environment is strict and behaviorally structured. The instructors give intense energy into the success of each student’s academic performance in a 52 week school year. The self learning concept fosters habits of reading and the ability to think beyond school level. This also helps foster the ability to solve problems never faced before. Based on the structured environment, behavioral disruptions are not tolerated as it disrupts the flow of the program.
​
Our method – regimented and demanding – focuses on teaching students to analyze and critically solve problems. Our students pursue a rigorous curriculum in reading, writing, mathematics, and science; and they begin in the early grades to study foreign languages, music, and the arts. In the process, they learn to be responsible and independent in their studies, and to work on their own and with others.
