Co-op Campuses

A Co-op Campus is a one-room schoolhouse facilitated by Dakar Academy with teachers and Kindergarten-8th grade students learning in a multi-age environment. Our Co-op Campus program brings everything great about Dakar Academy Schools to you. Co-op Campus teachers live full-time in the community they serve and are passionate about providing a quality Christian education to families who live and work outside of the Dakar metropolitan area and in countries across West Africa. 

The goal of the Co-op Campus program is to creatively fulfill the mandate of Dakar Academy Schools, “So ALL Can Serve,” by meeting parents of K-8 students where they are.

Co-ops are traditionally implemented where there is a small student population in a missionary community. A rural Co-op may only have a handful of students, while more urban Co-ops may have over 20 students. Co-op Campus teachers will work with participating families to provide instruction that meets the needs of all students, which may include creating a daily, weekly, and yearly schedule that reflects the unique rhythm of the local community and involving parents of participating families as teachers for specific classes. Co-op teachers may work independently or with one or two other Co-op Campus teachers, depending on the student population.

DA Schools currently has Co-op schools operating in Monrovia, Liberia and Dubreka. Guinea. If you want to learn more about either of these schools or how you can get connected with DA Schools, use the button below to contact us today!
