Our Curriculum
The Plight
We do not want to just affect the educational system of Africa. It is our goal to absolutely transform education across Africa. The amount of schools, teachers, and money that have been given to Africa already is simply astounding. However, Africa is in the midst of one of the greatest educational crises in history. Over 50 million children on the continent are without any form of substantive education (there are only 50.7 million children in the whole K-12 American education system as of 2017). As the African population continues to skyrocket, but poverty levels remain the same, it is likely this number will become even more dramatic in the next decade.
Using the Right Materials
There is an old saying that a worker is only as good as his tools. To that end, we have built two tools that are having an enormous impact.
Bible Study
First, the Rafiki Bible Study is an incredible resource that covers all 66 books of the Bible, week by week, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. God has used this resource to help thousands of African Christians to know Him better through His word.
Curriculum
Second, our Christian classical curriculum is a full-orbed educational system. From preK-12th grade, we have carefully crafted a curriculum that works through all the key subjects, with a focus on the great books of the western world, all built on the foundation of God’s Word.
Samples
Reaching the Next Generation
Across 10 separate African countries, we have over 800 orphans living and being educated in our Villages. Also, almost 2000 local children come to our 10 schools from the surrounding towns. Each child, whether resident or day student, receives a complete humanities education based in a biblical worldview. Imagine the impact of almost 3,000 young Africans shaped by the Scriptures, grounded in the classics, educated by history. When they stepped out onto their continent they would have the power to transform the lives and education of their countrymen.
