The Hybrid Learning Center is provided for families under the Akoma Cares umbrella.  Although we offer classes that rely on the support of community and parent volunteers, we are not a homeschool co-operative.

Our classes and clubs are designed to add value to your home education experience while still leaving room for flexibility in your schedule. We respect all education methods, but value a more community driven experience that encourages academic exploration through group learning opportunities and connection. 

We offer a variety of in-person, virtual, and hybrid classes designed for children of all ages and abilities. Our classes are afro-centered, culturally relevant, and reinforce positive self-identity for our students as they learn about--and from, people that understand and look like them.

In person classes are primarily held across the Columbia area and neighboring cities with field trips spanning across the North and South Carolina region. We partner with spaces across the Carolinas to reinforce that the world truly is a classroom. You can catch us exploring spaces and trying new things all throughout the region!

Our student clubs are also a combination of hybrid and in-person activities that are rich in education. Learn more about our HYPE student clubs here.
