"It was with particular attention that I followed the major innovations marked by the finalization of your pedagogical guide with 50% planning in French and 50% in English, remediation tools, full digitalization of teaching, differentiated pedagogical approaches with the PDI, not forgetting the religious teaching and Islamic values you instill in learners."
"Your investment is not just educational, it takes care of ecological, architectural and environmental development, in the image of this majestic earthen building."
"This bold vision for the future, through an experimental approach to full bilingualism in elementary and preschool, is in line with the dynamics of Senegalese education, with the introduction of English teaching in Preschool and Elementary, in line with Vision Sénégal 2050."
"YKA is a true incubator of pedagogical innovation in Senegal."
"Dr Fanta Aw
As my time in Dakar, Senegal draws to a close, I feel deeply inspired by the visionary work of Moustapha Diop, PhD and Dr. Arame Tall, deux fondateurs extraordinaires qui redéfinissent l’éducation au Sénégal.
Éduqués aux États-Unis et profondément attachés à leurs racines sénégalaises, ils sont revenus pour fonder Yenne Kids' Academy (YKA)—une institution pionnière qui établit une nouvelle référence en matière d’éducation préscolaire et primaire. YKA est véritablement bilingue, ancrée dans les valeurs sociales et les traditions sénégalaises, et conçue avec un accent sur l’apprentissage basé sur les compétences, l’engagement communautaire et les plans d’apprentissage individualisés.
Ce qui m’a le plus marquée, c’est à quel point chaque aspect de l’école est centré sur l’élève. L’école repose sur la conviction que chaque élève a le potentiel de réussir grâce à un environnement et une pédagogie d’enseignement adaptés. Ils utilisent la technologie de l’intelligence artificielle pour soutenir les enseignants, les familles et les élèves, en assurant un suivi en temps réel des progrès académiques et une approche fondée sur des preuves. Le niveau d’intentionnalité dans la conception du programme, la formation des enseignants et l’environnement d’apprentissage physique est tout simplement extraordinaire.
YKA incarne l’excellence et redéfinit ce qui est possible en matière d’éducation à l’échelle mondiale. Je quitte Dakar profondément émue et pleine d’espoir pour l’avenir de l’apprentissage au Sénégal et au-delà.
