AltSchool to Launch Hybrid Learning Programme in Q2 2025 with Campus by AltSchool

AltSchool Africa is preparing to introduce its first hybrid learning programme under the Campus by AltSchool initiative. Known for its online courses in software engineering, product development, and creative fields, the Nigerian edtech startup is now expanding into physical learning centres to improve course completion rates and strengthen its learner community.

The programme is expected to launch in Q2 2025, with Lagos and Kigali selected as initial hubs. The company plans to roll out similar learning centres across more African cities in the coming years.

Improving Accessibility and Learning Outcomes

To support the hybrid model, AltSchool is  setting up learning centres that offer stable power and internet access — two major challenges for online learners in Africa.

Instructors will engage students physically three times a week, with four-hour daily sessions focused on interactive and personalised learning. Students will need to bring their own devices, but downloading course materials for offline use will be limited.

The hybrid model will initially offer shorter four-month masterclasses, compared to the current twelve-month online diploma structure. AltSchool also plans to gradually introduce full diploma programmes under this new format.

Costs, Partnerships, and Expansion Plans

While AltSchool’s online courses currently cost $290, the hybrid programme will attract higher fees due to the additional costs of infrastructure. However, the startup plans to offer installment payment options and scholarships to improve access.

To help offset expenses, AltSchool is seeking partnerships with organisations. Recent collaborations include a deal with Bybit to train 1,000 Africans, as well as partnerships with Binance and OpenLabs Ghana.

AltSchool also targets younger learners, including secondary school leavers, offering parents an option for shorter, more practical training programmes.

With Africa’s growing youth population and the increasing demand for accessible education, AltSchool’s hybrid model could offer a vital solution amid the tough realities facing the edtech sector.
