Dr. Chioma Adaku-Griffin

Welcome to Africa Epicenter Microschool. I started this school because I believe every student across Africa deserves a rigorous education that celebrates the whole continent and prepares them for the wider world.

In Grade 7, your student takes 19 classes, from English, mathematics, and science to economics, music, and art. Students study Pan-African history, strengthen their English through English as a Foreign Language, learn French at Level 2, and choose Kiswahili or Arabic, with Engolo PE to keep body and mind active.

Every lesson adapts to your student. An AI tutor explains new ideas, answers questions at any hour, and adjusts the pace, and every lesson ends with a short quiz. Essays and projects let students show what they can really do.

Students of every background, language, and faith are welcome here. If you are looking for a school that is serious about learning and generous in spirit, I would be honored to have your student join our community this year.
