AFEP Program  Overview | Class Information

​​

​​A Program with Purpose 

Rooted in Socratic and Stoic philosophies and grounded on a scientific framework, the AFEP is a personalized, self-paced program where each participant progresses along their own unique path, guided by their strengths, interests, and values. It emphasizes both individual growth and collaborative learning, helping participants harness resilience, critical thinking, emotional and social intelligence, and purpose-driven influence. Three programs are on offer: The 'Samurai' Girls Program, the 'Ikigai' Women's Circle and the 'Sofubo' 70+ Women's. 

​

The purpose of the 'Samurai' Girls Program' is to cultivate intellectual capability through critical thinking, engagement through subjects that interest them individually, taking responsibility to become excellent & transforming into the next generation of leaders. A child's learning style can vary. While the primary and secondary schooling system is geared towards training children for higher education within an established learning framework, the AFEP offers students a project-based modality of learning is expected to support enhanced learning at school. 

​

The purpose of the 'Ikigai Women's Circle' is to support the exploration (and at times, the re-exploration) of a woman's unique purpose & mission. This demographic is sacrificial! Women give of themselves - at times, at the expense of their potential! The Ikigai Women's Circle is a space for intellectual exploration, creating visions and mapping out a personal mission - whatever that mission may be! This is achieved through Japanese-themed projects, which require reflection, critical thinking and creation. The connection between engaging in creative work and cognition is scientifically mapped. You will contribute to the creation of a 'sisterhood' - a community that will stand alongside when required. 

​​

The purpose of the 'Sofubo 70+ Program' is based on our recognition that the 70+ women are the matriarchs who continue to be an enormous and valuable inspiration to the next generations. We are committed to harnessing their wisdom through projects which their progeny will be proud to own. Family traditions, stories, successes, life lessons, failures, and more will be captured in time capsules for the next generation to access at a time in the future identified by the 'Sofubo'. ​
