AYA Educational Institute, directed by Afiya Madzimoyo, M.S.W., and Baba Wekesa Madzimoyo provides quality educational alternatives and resources for children of African descent. AYA's programs immerse students, parents and other adults in an African-centered educational and social environment that is rich in our past and culture.

The assessments, instruction and activities are designed to prepare them to excel academically and socially. These tools enable them to succeed in their current and future responsibilities to themselves, their families, our community, our people and the world (in that order).

The research is in, children, teens and young adults that are educated in Africentric school read better and have a far better comprehension of math and science, often surpassing their peers from some of the finest public and private schools nationally. Support excellence!
