Growing independent minds to lead a modern world
The traditional Education system was designed to educate in a standardised and scaled way, without acknowledging personal needs and gifts. This is the problem we are attempting to solve.
Who we are
We are AYM, a learning centre and education hub established in 2021. Our inception was driven by the recognition that the conventional school system fails to meet the diverse needs of all learners. Initially focused on tutoring and facilitating homeschooling, we quickly ventured into exploring alternative education methods. Our aim is to foster an environment that encourages growth and nurtures a genuine love for learning through effective communication.
Our Services
-
Homeschooling facilitation
We create an environment for learners that are registered homeschoolers at WCED. Learners that would like to be educated in a small group environment with a slower pace than mainstream schooling. Learners that attend AYM are registered as a homeschooler at the WCED as required. AYM helps the learners to learn what the curriculum expects of them and more. We intent to enrich the curriculum in ways that meet the needs and growth of the learners. We follow a learner approach teaching method to ensure each learners educational needs are met in the the best way possible.
