Our Approach
At Sankofa Learning Center, we believe in providing a unique educational experience that honors African heritage while incorporating proven educational methodologies.
We combine an African-centered approach with Montessori practices:

• The African-centered approach in education aims to instill values, traditions, and diverse ways of thinking in young people, helping to increase self-knowledge and awareness.
• Montessori practices are integrated into our curriculum as an educational tool.

We offer a comprehensive program for young learners, designed to foster their growth, curiosity, and cultural awareness
