International Home School Instruction:
This is our 4th year providing real-time online instruction for middle and high school students via Mu Kanda. Mu Kanda is our Online Communiverstiy with Soul. Parents from Mississippi to California to Bermuda to Trinidad register students for individual courses or for the entire curriculum of study. Challenging courses like Integrated Calculus and Statistics, Neurophysics (Biophysics II), and Argumentation and Debate prepare them for college and to render distinguished service to our people. AYA's Aerospace offerings like Flight Simulation and Hang Gliding keep their "kid" involved. These courses are steeped in the culture of Afrikan people. These courses are offered during the school day. They exceed national standards and lend themselves so well to college portfolio development.

A/SAT Prep:

Middle and High School Students are encouraged to enroll into our SAT / GED test prep cl
asses. We encourage students to begin taking the SAT as early as the 7th Grade. We provide test-taking instruction, compensatory education and motivation. Mock SAT tests are also offered. What's unique is our focus on students learning both how to score well on these standardized tests as well as their learning what's needed to render distinquised service to the Black community.

PAE / AYA Learning Clusters Home School:

What are Cluster/Sites?
  • Want to homeschool your child, but have to work? Does your child need wider socialization with other peers? Want you child to have a clear Black/Afrikan identity to help them be successful in a "multicultural" world?
Parents-As-Educators (PAE) AYA Learning Cluster/Sites (ALC) may be your answer. Parents in East Palo Alto, CA, Cincinatti, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Brandon, MS and Tallahassee, FL are forming these home schooling cluster/sites. Maybe you can start one in your area. Each Cluster/site has themes based on students' needs and parent/community strenghts.

This Year's Themes.

  1. Aeronautics
  2. Comparative Governments-- Local and National
  3. Argumentation and Debate
Middle school and High School parents get to participate in the education of their child without carrying the entire load. AYA trained and certified instructors teach core courses and work with each parent to teach students in the parent's respective area of interest and specialty. Key - parents only have to provide coordination services 1/2 day per week! Adult supervision is constant. Field trips, Drama and more. Too innovative to present all the details here. Attend our AYA Back2School - online conferences:
  • By Appointment - Call 404.292.9002


Free Parent/Educator Training:

Healing Oppressions Wounds Training provided FREE for all full-time enrolled parents. Healing Oppressions Wounds brin
gs you the remarkable power of truly blending our feeling and thinking selves - offering practical solutions to educational problems that ignore or mis-label. HOW also offers practical guides for supervision that reduce internal conflicts and interpersonal and inter-group conflicts and communications miscues.

Healing Oppressions Wounds is mature communication and conflict resolution for Afrikan people. It is critical for your home, school, church, or growing organization or business because it accounts for oppression (outside and inside, historic and present) as it helps you to shape thinking, doing, and feeling options applicable for today's problems and our future goals. Immature communication, education and conflict resolution doesn't account for historic and continuing power imbalances, so the resolution always weighs more heavily on the oppressed.


Please visit our websites to keep abreast of AYA. We need you to help us find the people who are trying to find us.

Welcome to AYA. We're 10 years strong!

Help us celebrate 10 years strong!
AYA (ah-yah) is an Adinkra Symbol. It is a symbol of the fern. For the Akan of Ghana, it stands for independence, resourcefulness, endurance and defiance in the face of difficulty. AYA guides our educational methodology and is embedded in all our educational goals and objectives.

 


Mama Afiya Madzimoyo

AYA Educational Institute, directed by Afiya Madzimoyo, M.S.W., and Baba Wekesa Madzimoyo provides quality educational alternatives and resources for youth and adults of African descent.

For 10 years, AYA's programs have immersed students, parents and other adults in an African-centered educational and social environment that is rich in our past and culture.

The assessments, instruction and activities are designed to prepare them to excel academically and socially. These tools enable them to succeed in their current and future responsibilities to themselves, their families, our community, our people and the world (in that order).

 

 


Baba Wekesa Madzimoyo

Our Mission:

It was 10 years ago in the summer of 1998 that AYA got started.
I remember it well. We were passing out flyers all over the Atlanta metro area. Wow, have we grown since then. Today we have youth and adult students all over the US, Bermuda and Trinadad too. We've extended our collaboration with other organizations and learned better how to serve our people. Over these years we've been unwavering in our mission.

Through its various programs and publications, AYA's mission is to provide educational services for children, youth and adults that facilitate Africans and Africans in the Diaspora developing
A HIGH motivation to achieve academically and socially based on a clear African identity and commitment to serve the African community first.

  • A track record of demonstrable academic and social excellence
  • A HIGH degree of self love, cultural love, people-hood consciousness and active extension for African economic and political strength
  • A ZERO degree of dependency on those that have and continue to oppress us

Newsflash

AYA Collaborates with 21st Underground Railroad to provide Summer Adult Sessions

Hot Fun in the Summer Time!

Summer time (June 21st - Sept. 20th) is family time. It's vacation time for many. Playing, sitting, swinging, swimming. Sterling Brown's classic - After Winter capture's some of our best summer dreaming. This relatively easy time is the best time to prepare for the lean times too. So, We have a HOT summer line up to help us do just that. Our live webinars/seminars are:

June: Hot Fun Summer Introduction - Engaging, not Escapism. Ever notice that year after year "fun" has more to do with what you "don't have to do," and comes less and less from what you engage in doing. This seminar introduces our Summer Curriculum Series and helps us engage ourselves and our children and family for some real joy and happiness.

July: Education - While you still have some summer time to do something about it, we engage the 21st Century UGRR family in a look at education for healing, for skills, for leadership and for dominion! This is not a formula for others, it's one that we can use in the organizations, businesses we control and with people who we can touch.

August: Business - It's hot and things are in motion- it's August! A great time to start a business, find a mentor, capture some of the 700 billion dollars we spend each year. The 21st Century UGRR - DVM family is lucky to have successful Black self-made millionaires to guide us to business success. If you ever wanted to know how to get started and how to be successful as an Afrikan rendering distinquished service to our people, this is the seminar for you. If you ever wanted to know if you have what it takes to go all the way, to break the economic chains, then this webinar is for you.

September: Parenting - So it's time to get ready for fall, for school - both for self and for our children. So, it's time to sit at the feet of some great parents whose names you'd never know, if not for the 21st Century UGRR. These parents nurtured, protected and navigated their children and grand children from rags-to-riches through the mine fields of racism, poverty, labelling, family fragmentation, and tragedy to become successful by any measure. We call this Parenting From Rags-to- Riches. Don't miss it.

The summer goals are to

  • Establish 50 21st Century UGRR study groups local and national

  • Insert DVM curriculum in 50 Family Reunions

  • Inspire a youth DVM - Sales Warrior Force

  • Establish 100 organizations who use DVM as a fundraiser for 2008-2009
