Empowering children to become stewards of the earth and conscious builders of a better future
About Us
Pan African UBUNTU School (PAUS)
In January 2025, we started a Home Schooling project for our younger children at KACH. This will grow into the Pan African UBUNTU School (PAUS), a unique school that will focus on creating a learning environment that is child-led and where the teacher is a ‘space holder’ for the child to learn what most connects them to the land, plants, animals and people; and enhances their health and flourishing as a people.
Our Philosophy
The way we see the world shapes the way we treat it. If a mountain is a deity, not a pile of ore … if a forest is a sacred grove, not timber; if other species are biological kin, not resources; or if the planet is our mother, not an opportunity -then we will treat each one with greater respect. Thus is the challenge: to look at the world from a different perspective. David Suzuki
We want to take back our education and teach our history, our language and our culture. We have begun to tell our story – our history – and we want to tell it in our own words to the world, so that this will never happen to any of the other nations in the world. Shirley Williams, Residential School Survivor

Guiding Principles
Culture
We honour indigenous knowledge, stories, languages, and traditions — not as subjects to be studied, but as living truths to be remembered and practiced.
Nature
Children learn from the rhythms of the seasons, the behaviour of animals, the life of plants, and the cycles of the earth.
Community
Education is a shared journey, and every child is raised with the understanding that they are part of something larger than themselves
Wholeness
Beyond academic skills, we nourish emotional intelligence, spiritual curiosity, physical health, and ethical awareness.
