Afya means HEALTH in Swahili. At Afya Public Charter School, promoting health is what we do.  We believe that students  in the middle grades need regular opportunities to think critically, be physically active, and interact constructively with peers. 

As they participate in this kind of work and play, our students will create and learn habits of mind and body that will lead to their  intellectual, physical, social & emotional health.
