Learn moreOur Curriculum
Drawing on ancient philosophers, religious texts and the theories of Pierre Bourdieu and Paolo Freire, author of Pedagogy of the Oppressed, our curriculum is designed to disrupt mindsets, improve problem solving and critical thinking skills, and explore the role of the individual in universal systems of thought.
At the core of our curriculum is the Identity and Expression programme, devised by Country Director, Justin Mushitu. By questioning the positives and negatives of traditional African systems and culture, students are encouraged to think independently and make informed decisions based on the information in front of them, before going on to articulate these thoughts and ideas in a presentation created for their peers.
Steven and his journey at Our Moon
“Our students are determined to succeed and put in so much effort to be able to attend a good university – they make the most of the advantages and opportunities given to them by all who support them. Their determination to help their communities and country really inspires me.”
