AI-powered personalised learning that adapts to every student. No fixed curriculum. No one-size-fits-all. Just growth.
Like the tree it's named after, Baobab grows deep roots before reaching for the sky. Every student moves through four layers at their own pace.
Graduates become mentors. Career placement. Entrepreneurship support. Peer networks. The tree sustains itself — Canopy graduates give back by guiding new students through the earlier layers, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of growth and opportunity.
Students choose specialisation tracks guided by AI that maps their strengths to market demand. Five tracks available: Technology, Health Sciences, Business & Entrepreneurship, Creative Arts & Media, and Agriculture & Environment. Each track is designed around real career outcomes in Africa's fastest-growing sectors.
Core skills — mathematics, sciences, critical thinking, digital literacy, financial literacy, communication. Rigorous and structured but paced to each student. The trunk builds the strength that supports everything above it, ensuring no student advances with gaps in their foundations.
AI assesses each student's current level through conversation, not tests. Builds foundations in reading, writing, and numeracy. Identifies learning style and gaps. Everything adapts — because where you start shouldn't determine where you end up.
Baobab isn't a chatbot. It's a full adaptive learning system designed from the ground up for the African context.
On day one, AI maps your current level, learning style, preferred language, and goals — all through natural conversation, not standardised tests. This creates a unique learning profile that evolves with every interaction.
The curriculum reshapes every session based on performance. Struggling with fractions? The system slows down, finds a new angle, and tries again. Racing ahead? It accelerates and adds challenge. No two students see the same content.
AI handles the daily learning loop. Humans handle the breakthroughs and the breakdowns. Trained mentors step in for emotional support, career guidance, and the moments that need a human touch.
Built for entry-level smartphones. Offline-capable. USSD fallback for areas without data. Compressed content delivery. Because infrastructure shouldn't be a barrier to education.
Six steps, repeated every session, every day. This is how adaptive learning actually works.
