Frequently Asked Questions

If you still require assistance after consulting the FAQ, please send a support message.

What are the classes about?

Read the course descriptions and learn more about what each class is about.

How are classes taught?

In 2024, we look forward to offering some of the classes in-person, however, the summer school is primarily virtual at this time. Each class will be taught online (even those taught in-person). You will receive a confirmation email with the link(s) to your classes.

What ages are classes for?

Classes are appropriate for everyone ages 14 and up.

What If I can’t attend the class live?

That’s perfectly fine. Each registrant will receive a copy of the recording following the class instruction. If the time doesn’t work for you, you can watch any time you’re available to do so. We’ve had several people order bundles and they received their videos and watched at later times.

How much are the classes?

Classes are pay-what-you-can. We want to increase accessibility and remove financial barriers for all learners. This means if you can’t afford to pay at this time, you do not have to. If you can afford to pay, we welcome your support.

Suggested donations:

$25 per individual class

$45 for a bundle of 2 classes

$65 for a bundle of 3 classes

$90 for a bundle of 4 classes

$200 for the entire curriculum

How do I register for classes?

Go to the registration page and select which option you prefer. If you are only taking one or two classes, you can register for them individually. If you’re selecting a track, you will find those options as well. Please be sure to include your email address so we can reach out to you. Save “info@sankofasummerschool.com” in your contacts so it doesn’t go to spam.

Do I have to be of the African Diaspora to register and participate?

No. People of all races, cultures, ethnicities, and nationalities are welcomed to join Sankofa Summer School.

What is the refund policy?

Because the structure is pay-what-you-can, we do not offer refunds and appreciate your donation to our program.

Can I change classes after I register?

You can request a class change up to seven days prior to when your class is scheduled to take place. Simply forward your registration receipt email to info@sankofasummerschool.com to request a change by July 27, 2024.

Can I come to the class late?

Yes. If you’re going to be more than 15 minutes late, however, it might be best to wait for the replay.

I’m having registration issues, what do I do?

If you’re having technical issues with the registration site, contact info@sankofasummerschool.com and clearly describe, in detail, what happened when you encountered a problem. We will do our best to guide you through the process.
