We believe African-centered education must teach African Students how to wield power in the best interest of themselves and African people. Our school was purposefully established within the city to serve as a pillar for wholistic education, cultural awareness, and nation building.

 

Kimoyo Shule is a community-based educational component of Urban Youth Initiative Project (UYIP), a 501 c3 non-profit organization located in Baltimore City. Our curriculum will teach the following:

Exposing our youth to common languages in the Americas, and indigenous African languages, gives them access to the rich culture behind the languages. Kimoyo Shule has a rigorous and challenging language arts program that will broaden the potential in each scholars comprehension and critical thinking.

African History, Culture, & Character Development

We will cultivate our scholars' Iwa Pele (West African Yoruba term for gentle character), and teach them about the conduct, customs, traditions, rituals, and values, that are unique to African people. From antiquity to present-day, we will learn about African ancient empires and dynasties, our ancestors, and our modern day Supreme Heroes & Supreme Sheroes. We will place a strong emphasis on studying African culture in the diaspora. To create a strong foundation for our Scholars, we focus on Knowledge of Self.

Health, Nutrition, & Agriculture

Our Scholars become attuned with the earth through gardening. We’ll learn about seasons, cycles, sun movement, biology, elements of nutrition, and explore the variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Through classes and our lunch, we nurture our Scholars to understand food as medicine.
