About the University of Kemetian Sciences (UKS)

UKS is the first educational institute of its kind to stream its classes live, online and in real time. Classes began in March of 2006, with 29 students of NY, NJ, PA, VA, NC, CA, FL, GA, the London UK, Canada and Granada, WI. Our students range in age from 18 to 90 years; our new program allows for families with children as young as 7 years of age to study language at our University.

During class sessions, students view the lesson live, in Power Point presentation form on their computers, and participate in class via conference call technology.   

Our objective is to educate, encourage and be a major positive influence in the lives of all, with a focus on the underserved and indigenous peoples around the globe, as well as to instruct and certify teachers who will forward a legacy of excellence through the coming decades.

 Dr. Valentine established the former School of Arcane Sciences for advanced studies in metaphysics and the occult, and is best known for his ability to decipher and teach the subtlest principles of metaphysics and its application to health, healing, and everyday life, in ways that may be understood by both the advanced student and the beginner-apprentice.
