It is interesting to know that the calendar, the GPS, and our mobile smartphones with their mind-blowing capabilities are all large products of the knowledge and wisdom from astronomical studies – simply put, ASTRONOMY. Not only these benefits mentioned above, nut much more have also been achieved in making our world a better place through the study of the earth and facts beyond the earth (space or cosmos).
Ascribe kudos or a eulogy to Science if you are reading this article. How? This is because you're either reading this on a mobile device or other technological devices, which are products of Science.
Furthermore, the need for a far-reaching application/implication of Science raises the question of how Science can best fulfil its commitment to the society, and how we can create dynamic connections between knowledge and action.
What are the features of a top school in Nigeria?
How do I choose the best school for my children?
What's the guarantee of my child being in good care?
As parents or guardians, it's normal to ask these questions.
Finding the “Right Secondary School” for your child is one of the most important decisions you will have to make as a parent. One reason for this is that your child will be spending an integral part of their formative years in a secondary school learning, making friends and developing character before they transit into higher institution. Your choice of a secondary school for them can impact and influence academic performance, social and emotional well-being.
If you are not sure of the best school for your child, well, consider these 5 CRITICAL FACTORS to guide you in making the best choice:
1. Is the School Consistent in Delivering Excellent Results?
Many parents think that the only factor for determining the best secondary schools in Nigeria is the overall performance of the schools in the West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). As impressive as this might look on the surface, it is not enough factor to determine the best secondary school for your child.
To have a better and more concrete analysis, it is important that you also enquire to know if the WASSCE results of a school have been consistently good and impressive over a period of time. For instance, in the past years, what have been the performances of their WASSCE results like? Has it been consistently remarkable?
A school that lacks consistency in an excellent performance, especially in external examinations such as WASSCE, cannot fully guarantee academic success for your child.
We are not only consistent at Premiere Academy with an excellent result of 99% success rate across all subjects in the WASSCE for a decade. Also, we offer college counselling and mentoring programmes. Our alumni are excelling academically in various universities across the globe and this has endeared us to various foreign Universities which are now seeking partnerships with us concerning students’ referral for university admission.
2. Does the School Offer an All-round Education?
An all-around education involves all aspects of a student’s learning experiences. It encompasses the school’s environment, learning modules, and how teachers plan and deliver lessons. It also considers how students engage with their fellow students and how they interact on various subject matters in the course of their learning.
An all-around education also factors in the moral upbringing of students as well as exposes them to other innovative learning experiences.
As a dynamic school, Premiere Academy has embraced one of the most innovative forms of learning, which is referred to as STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics). Our STEAM-focused approach to learning offers a flexible learning environment that exposes students to a curriculum having contemporary subjects such as Coding, Robotics, Astronomy, 3D Printing, Engineering, Chess etc. Students are taught the fundamentals of learning and are shown how they can apply them to real-world environments.
3. How frequent Do Students Get Scholarship Opportunities in Local/International Universities?
Over the years, Premiere Academy has helped students with scholarship opportunities (locally and internationally) and seamless admission processes. We know that choosing a university that will help actualize your child’s career goals often follows an exhaustive process of comparing and contrasting the academic offers of various universities.
To make this process seamless, at Premiere Academy, we have created a system to help parents and students identify top national and international universities and to provide them with adequate information about career choices as well as the corresponding universities or colleges that will equip them in their chosen careers. Thus, Premiere Academy organises a Career/University Fair annually where college representatives, agents and consultants from universities across Europe, America, Canada, Grenada, the UK, and private Nigerian universities educate and enlighten our students about scholarship opportunities and institutions that will equip them for their future ambitions.
4. Does the School Have a Safe and Secure Learning Environment?
Students’ safety and safeguarding are part of the critical focus of our boarding school education at Premiere Academy and this generally remain a part of our highest priority. In addition to our world-class student-centred teaching method designed to achieve academic goals, we are fully committed to ensuring the safety of our students by providing credible security systems and personnel. Our concerted efforts make students feel safe and secure while at school.
5 Does the School Focus on Discipline, Personal Development and Religion, besides Academics?
As earlier mentioned, the school environment has a great capacity to impact and influence a child’s social, emotional and mental well-being. Therefore, one of our aims at Premiere Academy is to instil discipline in all our students. Inculcating discipline and good morals are important parts of our educational processes at Premiere Academy, because discipline plays a vital role in helping students to achieve strong academic excellence, make wise decisions, and stay focused on their studies.
We do not only focus on academic excellence but also, we provide an enabling environment and facilities that will help our students discover and harness their unique talents and inherent capabilities.
The unique setting of our boarding school promotes and allows students to navigate through planned activities and become disciplined individuals, we guide them in the practice of becoming disciplined and responsible people within and beyond the school environment.
Over the years of our existence, we've been able to successfully and productively incorporate all 5 key factors and more in our approach to education, in line with our mission to develop children into world leaders through a rigorous educational programme that combines academic success with personal development.
Giving your child a complete, quality education is our main goal at Premiere Academy.
