Decolonise Africa Homework School Curriculum
Overview
A new homework-school pathway: one teacher may teach a live online classroom of five or more students, organised by term and week, across languages and countries. It does not replace a national curriculum — it sits beside it so a child in Nairobi, Accra or Salvador can keep their ministry programme and still study African knowledge, land, languages, science and sovereignty.
Past
Built in 2026 as the house curriculum of Decolonise School after years of fragmented free courses.
Present
Three terms a year, twelve teaching weeks a term, live cohort classes, graded homework, parent view, and Nuru the AI Friend as a 24-hour tutor.
