Silikamva High School The name meaning “we are the future” is an apt description of the learners that attend and the expectations we share with them.
HOW WE TUTOR
Through our program, we will continue to work with the same students who completed the One Heart Source program in primary school as they proceed into secondary school education. We hope to have about 10 to 15 students per grade so about 30-45 students per program session. Our tutors will be paired with the same one to two children for all subjects. We will use their existing textbooks to emphasize their class subjects to ensure academic excellence. We will use local teachers whose own successes will inspire the children that they have the potential to do the same. We hope to create a symbiotic relationship in which both the tutor and students are constantly learning form each other.
ASSESSMENT
Collaborating with Silikamva's teachers, the textbook, and our own knowledge, we will create a test for each of our three subject categories. The students will take the three exams on the first day of the program and again on the last day of the program so we can see their improvement from the start to finish of our program. We will also administer weekly quizzes to monitor the stepping-stones of their academic progression.
