Who are we?

At AYA EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE, we believe that an effective education doesn’t just come from memorizing or lecturing. Active participation in the learning process entails analyzing, discussing and collaborating - in order to comprehend and retain. All of our courses are designed to encourage deep mental processing and student engagement with the class material.

Innovated for Us by Us

Each One, Teach Ten

Each One Teach Ten is our current program that aims to transform everyday people into builders of mini-freedom schools, protectors of memory, and teachers of truth!

The urgency of now demands that we expand and duplicate our success - massively. Instead of massive buildings, we need thousands of learning circles - mini-Freedom Schools.

We need more people - Black parents, grand parents, aunts, uncles, workers, business owners, community, teachers, retired teachers, etc. to take responsibility and actively engage in the process of re-educating ourselves, so we can protect and re-educate our children and youth

We need Each One To Teach Ten Circles!

Small. Mobile. Accessible. Flexible. Coordinated.

Why Choose Us?

Customized Learning Paths

With over 27 years of experience, we offer customized learning paths that allow you to choose the courses that best fit your or your child's needs and educational goals.

Family Oriented

AYA Education is family Education. The Family-Lore project is but one example where we seek to heal alienation because as Dr. Amos N. Wilson says, "We're alienated to serve aliens." We have to heal that!

Accessibilty

We believe that everyone should have access to quality education, which is why we offer our courses at an affordable price.

Passion

AYA Educational Institute educates to heal alienation. For many of us, we're not just alienated from our culture, but from subjects like Math & Science, too. For the last few years, AYA has used Melanin to heal our alienation from Science, and we're on a mission!

Kind Words About Our Work

"I found Ubuntu modelled by the experiences and workings of the co-founders Mama Afiya and Baba Wekesa Madzimoyo, surely they understood that ‘Umntu ngumntu ngabantu’, I was home."
