Into Africa: Classical Education and Rafki Schools

By June 28, 2014January 25th, 2023No Comments

Rafiki Foundation operates ten Christian and Classical (CC) Schools in ten countries in Africa. The presenter was fortunate to visit three Rafiki schools in West Africa this spring in order
to explore ways in which CC schools in the U.S. (including his own) can partner with and support this organization. The presentation will include images and video from that recent visit as well as suggestions for ways teachers and schools can support CC education in Africa.
