Literacy

We run study abroad program for youth with a purpose. As such we have deliberately designed courses in mathematics, biology and Kiswahili (Zanzibar) or French (Rwanda, Senegal).

Mathematics:

Math provides the foundation for science and life skills. Each math lab is instructed by two experienced teachers. Our learners complete at least forty hours of math instruction, using an online math program that allows instructors, learners and parents to track progress.

Language:

We provide Kiswahili or French oral competence instruction. Learners complete twenty seven hours of in-class language instruction and fifteen hours of carefully designed homestay based language practice. Our goals is to use homestay and cultural immersion to support instruction and enhance language acquisition.

Customized Literacy Instruction

In addition to cross cultural competency training language acquisition we provide program specific instruction, for example biology in Zanzibar.
