About
Who We Are
Philosophy and Practices:
In an Afrikan centered context, our purpose is to build Afrikan children to be exceptional, academically intense, driven and disciplined human beings. Our vision is to build a grand Afrikan that will display to the world a new type of leader with a global self-determined, politically whole and holistically substantial stake in his or her own global independence.
Creating Thinkers:
Our method – regimented and demanding – focuses on teaching students to analyze and critically solve problems.
Diverse Studies:
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.
Measured Goals:
The quality of students’ products is determined by appropriate levels of achievement and demonstrated proficiency.
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.

What Clients Say
As a parent of two children attending Akoben Group, I couldn't be more impressed with the quality of education and care they receive. The teachers go above and beyond to ensure each child's needs are met, and the diverse range of extracurricular activities has enriched my children's learning experience tremendously.
