Why Choose Us
A Comprehensive Approach:
The most comprehensive approach to addressing the problems of Afrikan miseducation is an African centered Education. Our approach to Afrikan centered Education involves working with Afrikan students to master the academic disciplines on a high level, while grounding them in an Afrikan reality. We teach our students events, places, people and things with crucial reference to and in the critical context of the historical trajectory of people of Afrikan descent.
We present our daily lessons through literature, discussions and activities. This procedure is done through our practice of Repetition, Duration and Frequency in order to reinforce. Inculcated into lessons is a conceptual framework that provides grounding to explain our historical presence and relevance of the theories to make sense. As Afrikan Centered scholars responsible for the development of the minds of African children, we must advance several concepts that constitute cultural imperatives of Afrikan centered Education. These concepts are considered the “main ingredients” of cultural development.
- Identity
- Pan Afrikanism
- Afrikan Culture
- Afrikan American Culture
- Afrikan values adoption, practice and transmission
- Black Nationalism
- Nkrumah reserves the right not to admit any student and perform corrective action as the Director sees fit.
- Students will be dressed in proper uniform everyday.
- Community control
- Institution building
- Education opposed to schooling
