NationHouse was founded in July 1974 in Washington, DC. NationHouse grew out of the student activism of the Howard University community in the late 1960s. NationHouse is one of the oldest independent African-centered schools in the United States and the DC metropolitan area, serving the specific needs of children of African heritage from pre-school to twelfth grade.
Today, NationHouse continues to serve families in the development and enculturation of responsible youth committed to their families, community, and African culture/heritage. Currently, NationHouse maintains three fully functioning programs. Watoto School, serving pre-kindergarten through fourth-grade students, and Sankofa Institute, for fifth and sixth grade students, are the major programs on offer. The African Youth Organization (AYO) provides after-school activities for students.
