Unapologetically Black Education
Personal, world-class education at home for $10 per session
We don’t just teach reading and math.
At Reconstruction, we teach Black Glory, Black Love, Black Genius, Black Kindness, and Black Excellence. Traditional education struggles to discuss Black contributions in an accurate, identity-affirming way. We tell the real story.
Reconstruction empowers everyone to shine.

What is
Reconstruction?

Teaching Neglected Topics
Our mission is to help students see history and education in a broader context that resonates with their culture and identity. More James Baldwin than James Joyce. More Toni Morrison than William Faulkner.
High Quality and Affordable
Reconstruction pairs lessons from the best, and most diverse, curriculum writers in America with outstanding instructors, at a price that is 80% less than leading tutoring services.
