WHAT IS OUTLAST SCHOOL?

This is not a course. It’s a calling.

The Outlast School is a 3 years virtual leadership academy that gives African girls the tools, guidance, and sisterhood to step into their future with purpose.

Over two transformational semesters, each girl journeys through:

Semester 1 (Jan–May)

Becoming & Building

PHASE 1

Becoming (Jan–Mar): The Girl Who Outlasts

  • Explore identity, confidence, and cultural pride

  • Discover strengths, values, and dreams

  • Build the self before building the project

PHASE 2

Building (Apr–May): The Legacy Project

  • Track: Author

  • Build something real: a published book

  • Mentorship from aligned women trained in our values

Semester 2 (Sept–Dec)

Selling and Scaling

  • Learn how to market and sell the book created in Semester 1

  • Apply leadership and entrepreneurial skills in a real-world context

We don’t just inspire girls—we equip them to lead, speak, and build what outlasts the systems that weren’t designed for them.

WHAT WE REPLACE

Because the truth is—too many of our girls have been taught that:

  • Confidence is dangerous

  • Leadership is not for them

  • Their value depends on leaving their country, their culture, or their softness behind

They’ve been pushed through classrooms that grade memorization, not vision.

Taught to follow paths that were never built with their voice in mind.

Told that survival is the goal—and dreaming is a luxury.

Outlast says: No more.

Outlast Replaces:

  • Obedience-based schooling with vision-based leadership

  • Shame-based silence with sacred voicework

  • Passive learning with purposeful building

We are not fixing what’s broken. We are creating what should have existed all along.

This is not reform. This is a replacement. And we’re not apologizing for that.

WHAT MAKES OUTLAST DIFFERENT

  • Rooted in Culture: We teach leadership from the continent, not imported templates

  • Project-Based: Every girl leaves with a tangible result. This isn’t theory—it’s action.

  • Mentorship-Driven: Our mentors are handpicked women who reflect the girls’ dreams.

  • Soul-Rich Standards: This is not soft. This is sacred. Our excellence is our floor

  • Designed for Scale: While our first class will be small, our vision is global and long-term.
