Philadelphia African American Homeschool Mom Maleka Diggs

Eclectic Learning Network opened in 2015 and was founded by Maleka Diggs, a married, mother of 2 unschooling black daughters who recognized a great need to bring home education to the forefront in Philadelphia. 

Though her journey started with virtual school, followed by homeschooling, it was unschooling that lit the spark to greater understanding of not only her children, but herself. The process of deschooling (phasing out the traditional model for education) was a challenge (and still can be at times) that manifested in the most beautiful way. Truly listening and observing her children as well as herself lead to a major discovery. School is not synonymous with learning and when children are genuinely interested, it extends the engagement and generates retention.
