performance in WAEC examina�ons, rated schools do the right thing at the right �me
(integrity), have good school plant; not necessarily expensive but basic and func�onal, quality
manpower etc.
b) Wise parents are involved in the educa�on of their children. They are never �red of
spending money to give their children the best educa�on. They seek informa�on on quality
schools. No wonder, top performing government schools are those with limited parents'
involvement in funding.
c) Teacher's quality and adequate knowledge of subjects they handle is guarantee of
con�nuous employment in Top performing schools. Most top schools do periodic teachers re-
assessment tests; where teachers are examined on past ques�ons of their subjects in relevant
examina�ons e.g. IGSCE, SSSCE, NECO, SAT. Con�nuous employment depends on high score in
the assessment test. For the government owned schools, the workers union, parents and
poli�cal leaders will need to brainstorm on introducing a new teacher's appraisal system.
Crea�vely, effec�ve system in private schools can be replicated in public schools. What is the
wisdom in subjec�ng all teachers in public schools to administra�ve ques�ons for promo�on
interviews rather than strict technical ques�ons on subject taught? Definitely, all teachers
can't be administrators. Government needs to introduce School Administrators in public
schools; this is the emerging trend globally.
d) Responsibility for taming examina�on mal prac�ses rest squarely with the school
owners, teachers and parents and not the examina�on bodies (WAEC/ NECO. Examina�on mal
prac�ces start by employment of half-baked teachers; employing without considera�on for
technical ability; but when employment decisions are based on acceptability of low pay,
ethnicity/ religion affinity. We promote mal prac�ces when syllabuses are not covered,
especially in public schools, occasion by frequent strike ac�ons due to irregular salary
payment. Lack of conscience by the school owners, teachers, students and parents that
encourage/ patronize exam cheat centres that their graduands/ students are raw materials for
another level of study. Without good educa�on founda�on, such students are not able to
withstand the rigor of higher educa�on and will be limited in crea�ve thinking capability
needed for higher level employment. Hence, such schools can never have good alumni
associa�on.
e) Increasing patronage of private schools is validated by the yearly info graphics
report on performances of schools in external examina�ons. Over 98% of Top 1000 schools are
privately owned. In-depth interviews reveals other key reasons why parents chose a private
school for their children: be�er learning environment, small class sizes, more individual
a�en�on to students, be�er student safety and be�er monitoring and supervision of
teachers. However, there are s�ll good government schools; 8 of Lagos state government
owned schools are among Top 1000 schools in the 2016 award.
We are proud of the schools that will be receiving the 2016 Africa Top Schools Award. They are
just the very best in Nigeria today. They also have faith in the Africa Brands Review (ABR)
quality cer�fica�on. Where we have given them Golden cer�fica�on, other agencies have
rated them the number 1 in Nigeria. All our awardees are clearly number 1, comparable to the
very best school in any part of the world. This is while we spend valuable �me and resources on
familiarisa�on visit and research on the shortlisted schools. The Loyola Jesuit College, Abuja is
clearly the number 1 in this year award. They have over 400 schools worldwide; maintaining
same standard.
You will read in this edi�on of the ABR magazine why parents prefer private educa�on. Some
notable private schools are always in the Top 1000 category yearly. ABR magazine is a must
companion for parents looking for good schools for their children and a guide for school
owners to improve their opera�onal systems We present analysis of the number of top 1000
schools in every state; as a challenge to governments to improve the number of their schools
in the Top 1000 ra�ngs. Providing good atmosphere and incen�ves for private enterprise to
thrive is the way to go. Recent trend of seeing private schools as cash cow centres to go will be
a major disincen�ve to quality educa�on. Already, the United State of America is already
projec�ng a shor�all of graduates for new jobs to the tune of 11 million vacancies in 2025.
Encouraging steady growth and compe��on in the educa�onal sector is the way to see the
evolvement of a prosperous Nigeria and Africa con�nent.

annual Africa Top Schools ra�ngs and
award system seeks to improve the
knowledge of the African parents,
teachers and policy makers towards
improving students' performance in
external examina�ons. There is a lot to
learn in the annual exercise of
networking schools whose minimum
performance index 164 versus na�onal
average scores in key subjects. Basic
learnings from previous awards
include:
a) Wise parents are taking their
children to top performing schools.
These are rated schools by the Africa

The April 2016 Africa Top Schools ra�ng will
feature informa�on on 1000 top schools in
Nigeria. It is increasingly difficult maintaining a
pla�num, gold and silver medal under the ABR
methodology. Out of over 12, 000 schools that
presented candidates for the May/ June 2015 SSCE
examina�on, only the top 1000 were considered for the
2016 Africa Top schools award. In a follow up intensive
field visits and in- depth interviews; a sizeable number
were eliminated for considera�on due to poor plant,
unfavourable comments by parents and students in the
catchment areas of the schools. We have given equal
opportuni�es for both the private schools and public
schools to win award.
For the 2016 award, we have classified schools into
various categories:
a) Top 10 Na�onal
b) The Best of Top 10 schools for the 2015 Africa
Top Schools Award. (Considering school culture
and CSR project
c) Top 10 schools per leading states in Nigeria,
d) Best Alumni associa�on of the year.
Quite a number of schools will be honored this year
either in the Pla�num, ,Gold or Silver category. Top 10
schools na�onal were considered for Pla�num Award,
top three schools per state for Gold Award and top 150
Schools in the greater Lagos session for the Silver Award.
The High Schools that received this dis�nc�on were
judged by a panel of experts on criteria including:
Displaying a consistent and clear understanding that the
success of their students in terminal examina�ons and
ability to excel and meet their life �me vision without
examina�on malprac�ces is directly related to the level
of parents/students sa�sfac�on.
Providing parents/students with an experience worth
returning for and recommending others.
Preparing for future success with sound planning,
infrastructural development, spor�ng/recrea�onal
facili�es, research, marke�ng and training ini�a�ves.
Ensuring an excep�onal teaching, manpower
development and marke�ng; to encourage repeat
patronage and growth.
In some cases, using the web and social media in
interes�ng and engaging ways.
All the Top 10 awardees of the 2016 Africa Top Schools
award are in the running for the best school of the year
award in June 2017.
REPORTS CONSIDERED FOR 2016 AWARD:
1. Ra�ngs performance of Top 1000 schools in
May/ June 2014 WASSCE.
2. Ministry of Educa�on officials
3. Invigilators of external examina�ons.
4. D i r e c t o rs / To p m a n a g e rs / O w n e rs o f
businesses/ Top companies in the various
communi�es.
5. Parents that currently have students in higher
ins�tu�ons.
6. Report of visit to Top Schools by the Africa
Brands Review team
7. We have also looked at the successes of the
schools in others areas, such as spor�ng
events, debates etc.
Quite a number of good schools do not present
students for WASSCE, as they use foreign
curricula. In subsequent ra�ngs we hope to
accommodate them, by obtaining data on
Cambridge IGCE, JAMB, TOEFL and SAT.
Hopefully, as par�cipa�ng schools harvest the
reward of high brand equity and awareness for
sustainable quality educa�on; there will be less
considera�on for associated travelling and hotel
expenses to receiving the pres�gious Africa Top
Schools Award.

NATIONAL TOP 10 FOR 2016 AWARDWASSCE PERFORMANCE RATINGS
The Marist Brothers is a religious congrega�on in the Catholic Church who have dedicated themselves to giving qualita�ve educa�on to the young, especially the least favored. The story of the Marist Brothers and their educa�onal vision can be
compared with that of three men who were employed in a cathedral site. When asked what they were doing in the cathedral, one of them said he was working to earn a living, the other answered that he was building a cathedral, while the third explained that he was leaving something for posterity. In this era of prolifera�on of both private and public schools in Nigeria, the views of the three men became as relevant as ever. Some schools today are established by managers whose sole aim is to make profit and sustain their living. Some are established for the mere sake of establishing a school with no well-defined focus in mind. The Marist Brothers, since incep�on, had had one vision in mind – to leave something behind for posterity.
The Marist Brothers in Nigeria
The Marist Brothers came to Nigeria in 1949. Their first schools were
Bishop Shanahan College (B.S.C) Orlu in Imo State and College of
Immaculate Concep�on (C.I.C) Enugu. In 1965, the Marist
Brothers' Juniorate was established in Uturu. Their focal pointwas
the teaching of children in Chris�an morals. Since then the Marist
Schools have grown like a mustard seed. Today,they have seven
secondary and four primary schools in five different states of
Nigeria. The secondary schools include Marist Brothers'
Juniorate, Uturu, Marist Comprehensive Academy, Uturu, Marist
Comprehensive College, Ezzagu, Ebonyi State, Christ the King
College, Gwagwalada, Abuja, Marist Comprehensive College,
Nteje, Anambra State, Sacred Heart Marist College, Ejule, Kogi
State, Marist College, Yangoji, Abuja, and Christ the King Catholic
College, Ire Eki�, Eki� State.
Marist Brothers' Juniorate and its Philosophy
Marist educa�onal philosophy is the wholis�c educa�on of the
child. This vision is held tenaciously by all Marist Schools. A
wholis�c educa�on is the educa�on that helps young people to
build up a well-rounded and integrated personality, and trains
them to respect the dignity of work and develop strong character.
More so, it inspires young people to adopt a life of service to their
local communi�es, the country and the world. In the pursuit of this
goal, we bear a number of things in mind. We believe that every
normal human being possesses the capacity to learn concepts when
organized systema�cally. This differen�ates humans from the other
primates, and researches in educa�onal psychology have proved
that there is no limit to human capacity to learn.
Marist Schools are established basically to confront and defeat the
challenges of marginalized educa�on, by making qualita�ve
educa�on accessible to both the poor and the rich, for both boys and
girls. Girl child educa�on and the empowerment of women in
general is advocated by Marist educa�onal principles.
Eighty percent of Marist schools, like the Marist Brothers' Juniorate,
are located on the periphery of the ci�es. In Nigeria today, one major
problem in impar�ng knowledge remains the physical environment
where the learning process takes place. The Marist Brothers, a�er a
thorough observa�on of this state of affairs, decided to leap into the
ocean of this unhappiness as a savior.The Marist Brothers' Juniorate
is built with adequate considera�on of the physical aesthe�cs that
are required for a good learning environment. The school
management ensures that the structures erected in the school
correspond with the natural landscapes of the environment that
houses the school. Paths and flower-beds are quite carefully laid
that most o�en, our new students fall in love with the serenity of the
environment the first �me they step into the school to write their
entrance examina�ons. Our classrooms are spaciously arranged in
the ra�o of 1 teacher to 30 students. This is to make the teaching and
learning process less stressful to both teacher and learners.
Staff Recruitment and Quality
The Marist Brothers' Juniorate recruits graduate teachers from all
the tribes of Nigeria and beyond. The teachers are recruited a�er
they had done well in oral, wri�en and prac�cal interviews
conducted by the School Management Team in collabora�on with
the MaristSchoolsManagement Board. The Board is made up of men
and women who had proven themselves worthy in the field of
educa�on and had re�red either as principals of schools or
inspectors of educa�on in various states in Nigeria.
In the non-tutorial sector, we insist on qualified personnel to man
our security, catering and dormitory facili�es. Par�cularly, our
Catering Department is manned by professionals in Food Science
and Nutri�on. Educa�onal psychologists tell us that the quality of
the brain, especially during the very forma�ve years, is determined,
to a large extent, by how much protein the child has consumed
during those years. We thus make sure that our students, who are all
boarders, are fed well to give them enough energy that is required to
survive the rigors of everyday schooling.

WHY MARIST BROTHERS SUCCEED AT MARIST BROTHERS' JUNIORATE, UTURU
2016 AFRICA TOP SCHOOLS AWARD
PLATINUM CATEGORY
Management, Staff and Student Rela�onshipThe first rule that guides teaching and learning in the Marist Brothers' Juniorate is that every person in the system sees himself as a member of one family. To become a Marist staff, the person must possess the quality of loving the children as if they were his own children. He must understand that each child is unique and that inability to solve a given problem at a par�cular �me does not signify lack of ability. Thus, our teachers are seriously trained to avoid ridiculing, insul�ng, disdaining and jeering the students or subjec�ng them to unwarranted comparisons.
We encourage our teachers to present students with ac�vi�es that make an impact on the mind. It is our belief that learning is enhanced when ideas, theories and facts are concre�zed through the use of teaching aids and other forms of educa�onal strategies. The famous Chinese saying also teaches us along those lines: “What I hear, I forget, what I see, I remember, what I do, I understand.” The use of teaching aids in our schools reduces knowledge to its bare elements and creates the appropriate condi�on for mastering of concepts and ability to remember.
In the Marist Brothers' Juniorate, each term's plan has a provision of one Con�nuous Assessment Test, weekly assignments, class work, project, checking of notes, oral presenta�on, quiz, role play and dialogue, group discussion, weekly press club news, debates, departmenta l lectures and excurs ions . The students ' performance/progress on wri�en exercises like weekly assignments, tests, etc, are reviewed a�er each exercise and correc�ons are done in the classroom.
School Facili�es
Since the early 1970's MBJ has had standard science laboratories.In
the area of Computer Science, the Marist Brothers of Nigeria have
ensured that all their schools meet up with the standard of
educa�onal requirement in the country.In the recent past the school
laboratories have been upgraded to rank among the best in the
country. Subsequently, an air-condi�oned computer laboratory was
put in place with 50 desktops and 120 laptops. From the outset of ICT
in the school system, the MBJ students had been exposed, both in
theory and prac�ce, to the world of computer ICT. The first set of
eighty four (84) students to be registered for Computer Science in
2014 WASSCE all made the A1 grade in their results, and in 2015, all
the one hundred and twenty one (121) candidates also made A1.
Apart from these, the school has one of the best Technology
Workshops and Art studio in the state. The school's fully air-
condi�oned library can boast of over 15,000 books on different fields
and discipline.
Achievements
1. Moral
Our achievements span into many areas ranging from morals,
academic and extra-academic ac�vi�es like sports and provision of
social services to the society. In the area of morals, we have been
able to produce a crop of students whose moral disposi�on in the
larger society gives a clear tes�mony to our success in that area. At
home parents/guardians tes�fy to the excellent moral behavior of
their wards. In issues related to decent behavior, we do not
compromise our standard at all. Students who misbehave are given
produc�ve punishment aimed at correc�on. Some�mes erring
students are referred to the school's counselors who may hold
counseling sessions with them.
The Marist Brothers do not compromise moral educa�on in their
school. A subject called Religious and Moral Educa�on, which is
specifically developed for moral educa�on is a compulsory subject in
all Marist schools and has equal importance with Mathema�cs and
English, which means that a student cannot be promoted to the next
class if she or he fails this subject. MBJ won the prize of the best
behaved school in the 2015 Na�onal Milo Basketball compe��on at
zonal level in Benin. In 2014, the school won the same most envied
best behaved school trophy of the tournament in the All Marist
Secondary Schools Sports and Arts Fes�val held at Abuja.
2. Academic Achievements
MBJ has always maintained a high academic standard since
incep�on. The excellent performance of the past students of the
school in the field of medicine, educa�on, law, engineering,
business, avia�on, among others, and their contribu�on in the
shaping of the society are clear tes�monies to this claim. The school
has won assorted prizes both at the state and na�onal levels. In the
2014 Cowbell Mathema�cs compe��on, MBJ took the second
posi�on in Abia State. In the Junior Science Olympiad for 2015 in
Imo State, MBJ took the first posi�on. In such na�onal examina�ons
as WAEC and NECO, the school had walked with its shoulders high. In
1995, the school's WAEC result was extra-ordinarily so good that
WAEC delayed its release �ll such a �me when they sent two
independent teams of inspectors to inspect the school and interview
students. In 2005, MBJ got the best result in NECO in Abia State and
was invited to the Federal Capital Territory for an award of
excellence. In 2014, the school was rated as the fourth best school in
the year's WAEC result. In 2015, MBJ emerged as the second best
school in the country's 2015 WAEC result.
It is only through hard work and a strong sense of devo�on by
teachers that the achievements such as these can be made. Marist
Brothers' Juniorate has well qualified teachers who are dedicated to
duty and give their �me to the students. The school has designed a
strategy which enables teachers to take �me to fish out students
with serious learning difficul�es, and efforts are put in place to help
them out of their challenges. When such students are discovered,
special classes are organized for them. Where the weak
performance arises as a result of deep emo�onal problems
developed in the process of growth, the counseling department is
consulted for adequate assistance.
I have gone to this great detail to show that the MBJ success story is
not accidental. It is a well thought-out and deliberately planned
program, closely and religiously supervised to ensure quality
adherence. There is no alterna�ve to hard work. The same rou�ne is
true of all Marist schools, where both staff and students see
themselves as stakeholders. The “Marist Magic” in educa�on is not
lost to the public, as the surge in student admissions show each year.
Challenges
Our greatest challenge is to maintain the standard we have set in the
recent past. In this regard, finance remains a major problem. The
poor power supply in the state has meant that we had been
compelled to run the school with diesel and the school spends
money in millions, both in the purchase of diesel, maintenance of
the power genera�ng plants and other associated expenses. Despite
these challenges, the Marist Brothers' Juniorate, the other Marist
schools sca�ered in the other states and Marist Brothers are poised
to con�nue in the educa�on industry with full determina�on and
confidence.

resenta�on Na�onal High School (P.N.H.S) is all PGirls, all Boarders Post Primary Ins�tu�on
located in a serene environment in the suburb of
Benin City, Edo State. It was founded by the Catholic st
Archdiocese of Benin City on the 21 of November,
1989, with Most Rev. Dr. P.E. Ekpu, (now Archbishop
Emeritus) as its First Proprietor.
The school was founded to aptly respond to the
unending search of parents for a school that not only
provides a holis�c and all round educa�on, but one that
gives utmost a�en�on to moral rec�tude. This it does in
an environment that gives room for personal crea�vity
on the part of the students, but discourages unhealthy
compe��on that tends to make others look inferior.
Since its founda�on, the congrega�on of the Sisters of
the Sacred Heart of JESUS (SSH) has been highly
commi�ed and deeply involved in the character
forma�on, educa�on and moral upbringing of the
students' vis-à-vis complemen�ng in the area of school
administra�on.
We also have a team of seasoned, reliable and
dedicated teachers who are not res�ng in their oars
towards ensuring that the students are given qualita�ve
and all round educa�on.
The current proprietor of the school is His Grace, Most
Rev. Dr. Augus�ne Akubeze, the Archbishop of the
Metropolitan See of Benin City, while the current
Principal is Rev. Sr. Elizabeth Uchendu, (SSH). Our
school's mo�o is “pos�stas ex-scien�a” which means
“knowledge is power” The school has been a recipient
of several State and Na�onal Awards. It has also excelled
in different state and na�onal compe��ons. Here are
some of the Awards and laurels won by the School:

The Lagoon Schoolhe Lagoon School is the first project of the Nigerian
TAssociation for Women`s Advancement (NAWA), a
not-for-profit and non-governmental educational
and social trust dedicated to investing in the girl child for the
good of the society. The Lagoon School started as a
secondary school open only to girls on 15th September,
1995 with only fifty students. It was situated at number 75
Adisa Bashua Street in Surulere, Lagos. We moved to our
permanent site in Lekki in April, 2001, with four hundred and
nineteen students. Right now, The Lagoon Secondary
School has six hundred and thirty two students.
This school is in response to the high demand for a school
that upholds virtues and creates an avenue where teachers
can collaborate with parents in their most important role of
educating their children. It is a school founded on the
inspirations and teachings of St. Josemaria (Founder of
Opus Dei) who believed that parents are the primary
educators of their children. He also believed that teachers
were to work with parents in every phase of their education,
giving due consideration to the differences in gender while
not forgetting the proper ends Divine Providence assigns to
each child in the family and society.
NAWA as the name implies, is concerned with the female-
child. In Lagoon school, we open opportunities for our
students to cultivate an optimistic approach in creating and
fostering relationships in a humane society where each
person is loved for who she is. Our students have a deep
understanding of their dignity as women and their roles in
the society.
The primary section of The Lagoon School was set up on
15th September, 2008 with the main aim of giving an all-
round education to the female child right from the pre-
primary stage. It's academic session started in 2009 on
Akanbi Disu street, in Lekki Phase 1 with one pupil in
Reception class and eleven students in Year 1. The primary
section, which is located within the serene premises of the
Secondary School, moved to its permanent site on 14th
January, 2012. We have sixty five students at the moment.
NAWA has entrusted the spiritual, doctrinal and moral
formation of the students, staff and parents of the school to
Opus Dei, a personal prelature in the Catholic Church. Thus
the spiritual, doctrinal and moral formation given in the
school is Catholic oriented. Opus Dei is Latin for 'work of
God'. It is "a Catholic institution founded by Saint
Josemaría Escrivá. Its mission is to spread the
message that work and the circumstances of everyday
life are occasions for growing closer to God, for serving
others, and for improving society." The message of
Opus Dei is sanctification of work. It is to convert our daily
noble activities into sacrifice offered to God. It has to do with
working well and putting in ones best. The prelature,
however does not assume legal responsibility for the
school. We groom our students to always give their best.
Their professional work in school is to study.
Our Christian identity is incorporated in every aspect of our
curriculum. Our students, right from the primary section,
learn to serve God out of love by serving their fellow men.
They do not just know what it is to be good, they practice it by
being charitable to those they come across in their day-to-
day activities. Thus our curriculum is such that our students
are helped to understand their roles in transforming our
great country, Nigeria and the world as a whole.
Lagoon school is open to girls of all cultural, religious and
ethnic backgrounds. Our educational model is based on our
mission statement: Partnership with parents to give an
all-round education to each child based on the dignity
of the human person, integrity, leadership qualities and
academic excellence.
Our mission is achieved through a strong collaboration
between parents and our highly motivated members of staff.
Our students are helped to achieve excellent academic
performance, good character and strong moral principles
through a methodology based on instilling virtues and
values from a very early age. The tutorial system is the core
channel through which we harmonise the education given at
home and at school.
The Lagoon School believes that education is not just about
learning subjects but also about learning the value of being
a good person. We build characters, form and develop the
total person. Thus our curriculum is geared towards
developing the intellectual, physiological, psychological,
ethical, social and spiritual dimensions of the learners. Our
students have learnt to take responsibility for their learning.
Each child is empowered to achieve the best in whatever
task she engages in. Our driving force is a desire to achieve
a Christian identity for the school.
A the end of six years of primary and six years of secondary
school, our students turn out to be balanced, refined,
tenacious and mature individuals who are committed to
contributing a desirable transformation in every dimension
of the human society.

10 REASONS PARENTS CHOOSE PRIVATE SCHOOLS
FOR THEIR CHILDRENn the realm of parenting, few decisions hold as much importance
Ias those regarding your child's education. From the moment they
walk through the door of their very first classroom, children begin
to learn the study habits and work ethic that will shape the rest of their
lives. For some parents, a private education over a public one is non-
negotiable; here are ten of the reasons why:
Poorly Performing Public Schools - In some areas of the United States,
public schools are performing so poorly that graduates simply aren't
prepared for the rigors of college and thus opt to enter the workforce
directly after high school or even to drop out. For some parents, this is
a significant motivating factor in the decision to send kids to private
school instead.
Smaller Class Sizes - Hiding at the back of a small, private classroom
is markedly more difficult than being lost in the shuffle of a sprawling
public school. These smaller class sizes and the availability of more
one-on-one instruction are one of the most popular reasons parents opt
for a private education.
Religious Education - Parents who are invested in the idea of a
religious education often choose a private school connected to their
faith in order to ensure that the same values they hold at home are
instilled in their children during study hours. Because religion must be
kept out of public schools, devout moms and dads might choose a
more private, faith-based education.
To Improve Academic Performance - In many cases, teacher-to-
student ratio in a private school is just what a student who's struggling
to keep up in larger public classes needs. Curriculum and special
programs in private schools can be vastly different from their public
brethren, helping kids with diverse learning styles learn in a way that's
tailored to their specific needs.
To Take an Active Role in Education - Most private schools have high
expectations regarding parental involvement, which can be quite
different from the hands-off policy adopted by public institutions.
Parents with the desire and the time to become an active part of their
kids' education may find that a private school is more suited to that
involvement.
Higher Accountability - In a struggling public school, administrators
might be more invested in high standardized test scores than keeping
kids accountable for their day-to-day coursework. Because many
public schools are exempt from government-mandated standardized
tests, kids are actively taught rather than simply helped to memorize
testing material.
Sports Programs - Many private schools have strong athletic
programs, making them an ideal choice for sports-minded kids.
Parents that are invested in developing their child's athletic potential

often choose a private school as a result.
Emphasis on Arts and Music Programs - State education budgets are
being slashed across the country, leaving arts and music programs on
the chopping block. In some districts, these programs have already
been discontinued, leaving parents of budding artists and musicians
to seek private options for their talented offspring.
University Preparation - Studies have indicated that a privately-
educated child is twice as likely to continue to college as those that
attend public school, and also more likely to complete a university
program after enrolling. Because most private schools place a high
importance on preparing kids for college, they might be a better
choice for some families.
Safety Concerns - While it's certainly not true that all public schools
are dangerous, or even that all private ones are safe, there are areas in
the country where a public school might have a higher risk of
violence, truancy and other concerns. Parents in these areas generally
choose to privately educate their child if it's even remotely financially
feasible.
As is true with many far-reaching decisions, there are no one-size-
fits-all options. Some families find that private school is more suited
to their individual needs, while others may feel that a public education
is a better fit. By carefully considering all options, you can make the
choice that best benefits the needs of your child as an individual.
Coping With Stress At School
Our time at school is meant to be a time of self-discovery, education
and self-improvement. However, we must also remember that it can
be one of the most stressful periods in a person's life. If chronic stress
is ignored for long enough, it can eventually lead to mental and
physical breakdowns and even depression. The effects of stress only
get worse as time goes on so the most effective interventions are those
that begin early. This is most likely to happen when the underlying
causes of stress, as well as the warning signs, are understood properly,
both by the students themselves and by the faculty.
When Is Stress a Problem?
The first thing that needs to be understood is that people do not
respond to stress in the same way. Stress is simply what we feel as the
result of how the human body reacts to certain internal or external
demands. Each student will respond differently, even if the demands
they face are identical. This means that it would be wrong for any
student or faculty member to simply dismiss the stress caused to a
certain student, just because others are not experiencing the same
level of stress.
Faculty and students should also be careful not to dismiss situations
where some level of stress is expected. For example, everyone is
stressed during exams, and this can make it a lot easier to miss the
warning signs regarding one particular student. It is easy for an
individual's symptoms to be missed or ignored in such a situation.
This is a time where the faculty should be at its most alert, and ready to
offer help and counseling to those students who might need it.
At the same time, stress is not always a bad thing. Oftentimes, just the
right amount of stress will encourage a student to study more or to try
harder. The stress caused by knowing that they need a passing grade
on their next test in order to pass a class, for example, might determine
a student to stay up and study the night before when, normally, they
might have gone out with friends. As the University of Georgia (1)

Cherryfield College
Cherryfield College, Jikwoyi-Abuja, a product of a visionary humanitarian, Cdr. Emmanuel Ekoja Ajenu (Rtd), was established in 2004. It is a
secondary school that blends true learning with discipline to produce all round developed and intellectually for�fied genera�on of learners who are des�ned for greatness and excellent future hence her slogan-preparing children for greatness. Cherryfield College is located at Plot19, Jikwoyi, behind Phase 1 Primary School, along Nyanya-Karshi Road, Jikwoyi, FCT, Abuja. The college, which is a fully boarding school located in a cherry garden, believes that educa�on must ensure a complete turnaround of the learners from the world of appearance to the world of reality, from the world of dependence to the world of independence. In keeping with the above principles, the school offers prac�cal-based knowledge geared towards harnessing the learners' latent crea�ve ingenuity. This is a college where the discipline of a child is paramount and to achieve this, we do not only employ graduates of outstanding academic creden�als but professionals who are psychologically and emo�onally competent and who are passionate about child discipline. In fact, in CFC, there is no room for perfidious, churlish, baleful, bump�ous or surly a�tudes. In Cherryfield College, we do not accept only bright students as most schools do; we take bright, average and weak students as well and turn them into academic celebri�es in a ma�er of years. In CFC, students are closely monitored from JSS up to SSS by our team of dogged teachers in order to see to their overall posi�ve development. Our college is blessed with seasoned, crea�ve and industrious teachers who have opportuni�es to go for different professional trainings as opportuni�es arise. Coupled with this, there is an added advantage of pension scheme for all the staff of CFC. With their wealth of experiences, our teachers have been able to handle learners with diverse abili�es. We partner with our ever-suppor�ve parents via the PTA to maintain excellence and promote the Cherryfield brand across the length and breadth of Nigeria in par�cular and the world in general.
stAs the human genera�on of the 21 century is advancing
technologically like a wild fire in a harmma�an season,
Cherryfield College is not le� behind as we are moving
forward with classy technologically-driven Physics, Biology,
Chemistry, Agriculture, Basic science, Basic Technology,
Technical Drawing and Food / Nutri�on laboratories. There
is a 24hours internet service in CFC and this has in no small
measure mo�vated students and staff towards the ability to
encompass a variety of learning styles and enhances
student reten�on and review mechanisms. Again, CFC
parades world class sports facili�es as well as Music and
Fine Art studios. The CFC orchestra with their unique style
could raise the dead with their angel-like and exquisite
performances. Our hostels are superb, fully air-
condi�oned, tastefully equipped and located in a crystal
environment. We have func�onal water boreholes, water

treatment plant, standby mega generators for steady power

subject and voca�onal clubs is compulsory for all the
students of CFC. These clubs-Deba�ng, Spelling Bee, Press,
JETS, Sports, Entrepreneurship, Cultural, Young Farmer,
French, Brain Crackers, Music and Home Makers are
designed to make the students put into prac�ce some of the
concepts they learnt in the classroom and to bring out their
own peculiar ini�a�ves into solving some fundamental life
problems. Every term, CFC students visit different
motherless babies homes in the FCT to demonstrate their
love and affinity with the less privileged.

school in Nigeria

defines it, this is something called positive stress. It adds short-term
tension to the body that provides it with an additional burst of
adrenaline in order to overcome a certain challenge.
Even positive stress comes with noticeable effects that can be both
mental (anxiety, fear) and physical (headaches, nausea). However,
these effects go away once the challenge is overcome. Students who
are experiencing positive stress are usually able to return to a relaxed
state, one where the effects of that stress go away. When the students
are no longer able to 'bounce back' like this, they are deemed to be
subject to negative stress. As this negative stress goes on and
becomes chronic, it begins to take its toll on the body and cause
physical, mental and emotional problems. As the exhaustion of the
HPA axis continues and adrenal fatigue sets in, students will have
more and more difficulty continuing their studies.
Causes of Stress
The average student faces many potential sources of stress at school.
Here are a few of them.
Coping on your own
For many students, arriving at school is the first time that they are
truly living on their own. They have left the safe environment of the
family home, and they no longer have a responsible adult watching
over them. They are expected to take care of themselves as best they
can, figuring out tasks like washing their clothes, cleaning their room
and cooking for themselves. While most college students are up to
this task, it is still a significant, life-changing event with an initial
shock that can generate stress for many people.
Distance from loved ones
Studying often means being away from our loved ones for long
periods of time. Up until this point, most students will have never
spent this much away from their parents, relatives, and friends. Now,
all of a sudden, they find themselves in a new environment,
surrounded by new people, with everyone they care about hundreds
of miles away. Things get even worse for international students.
Their families are not only much, much farther away, but they also
have to deal with a totally different culture. Of course, this is not the
situation for everyone - some students go to college with friends;
others go to college somewhere close to home so they can drive back
when they have some free time. Even so, many students are able to
return home only a few times a year.
Money
A major source of stress faced by students is the same one that most
other people have to deal with too - money. College can be very
expensive, and even students with wealthy parents often have
difficulty making ends meet. Besides tuition, there are other expenses
such as lodgings, books and other study materials, money for
necessary expenses, car maintenance, and more. All of these add up,
to the point where only a very few students go through college
without having to worry about money at all. Most students finish
college with substantial debts and no secure employment for the
immediate future. This is understandably a huge source of stress.
A demanding schedule
Another source of stress faced by many students is the lack of free
time. The human body and the mind need time to unwind on
occasion, and indeed taking some 'downtime' is often the best way to
get rid of stress. However, college life often does not allow for this,
particularly for those students who are struggling to keep up or who
have taken especially demanding courses. Foregoing rest and leisure
time leaves them exhausted and unable to recover their energy levels.
You sometimes hear it said that during college you can choose any
two from sleep, fun, and study, but you can never have all three.

Symptoms of Stress
Stress is best dealt with as soon as possible.
In order to do this, students need to know the
early warning signs that they or someone
they know is being overstressed. There are
many symptoms that can be the result of
stress, both physical and mental. Stress and
adrenal fatigue bring about the depletion of
crucial hormones and neurotransmitters that
control many functions in the body. The
University of Dundee (2) outlines the
symptoms of student stress very thoroughly.
Physical symptoms of stress include:
Fatigue
A general feeling of sickness
Headaches
Constipation
Diarrhea
Loss of libido
Erratic sleeping patterns
Nervousness
A desire to weep
Neck cramps
Excessive sweating
Lack of appetite
Indigestion
Heartburn
Unusual food cravings
Mental symptoms of stress include:
Irritability
Loss of concentration
Loss of interest in friends
Difficulty in making decisions
Lack of motivation
Feeling guilty or inadequate
Feeling helpless or a failure
A loss of interest in relationships and in
activities that you sufferer used to enjoy
Many of these signs may not always become
obvious to others until they become really
pronounced. By that point, a lot of damage
may already have been done. That is why the
best warning signs for stress are generally
related to a person's behavior. According to a
study by Carleton University (3), these are
some of the behavioral changes which might
indicate that a person is suffering from stress
and might need help:
Skipping classes more frequently
A sharp decline in grades
Consuming more alcohol and drugs than
usual
Becoming more aggressive or more
emotional than normal
Becoming more isolated by choice
Missing assignments
If a person experiences several of the above
symptoms, it is highly likely that they are
suffering from stress and need some help.
Leaving this stress unaddressed and
untreated for a long period of time can lead to
depression. Depression can also appear if a
traumatic experience occurs while the
student is also suffering from stress. This is a
very serious issue that may require
professional help immediately. Some of the
more common symptoms associated with
depression include irrational thinking,
excessive weight gain or weight loss,
sleeping too much or too little, expressing
feelings of hopelessness, or even suicidal or
homicidal thoughts.
Dealing with Stress
The people best equipped to not only detect,
but also deal with stress are students
themselves. Here are some simple stress
reduction techniques for students who are
starting to feel overwhelmed.
Think positively, and keep things in
perspective
Having a positive attitude can be a very
effective tool against stress. Even when
dealing with very stressful situations,
approaching things from a positive
perspective can be a good way to minimize
the effect this has on the student. This is a
technique commonly known as 'reframing',
whereby finding a more positive angle
enables us to deal with a situation much
more effectively. For example, the stress of
learning a life-skill like cooking can easily
be reframed into a positive, learning
experience.
Use your support group
Students should not be afraid to discuss their
problems with those in their network. This
network extends far beyond their group of
acquaintances at school. Other options
might be their family and friends at home,
the counselors at their school, and any
professors with whom they have developed a
particular bond. Keeping problems hidden
away inside only makes stress worse.
Stick to a healthy diet
Maintaining a healthy body is probably the
best way to minimize the damage that stress
can cause. However, in cases where students
are stressed out due to lack of money or free
time, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is a lot
easier said than done. Even so, many
symptoms of stress are neutralized with a
healthy diet. All of the core macronutrients,
such as proteins, minerals, vitamins, fat and
c a r b o h y d r a t e s , a r e i m p o r t a n t f o r
maintaining the body's wellbeing, as well as
emotional stability and optimal energy
levels. Your diet during a stressful period
should be balanced and nutritional.
A stressful period is not the time to try a new
fad weight loss diet or the time to gorge on
fast food and binge-drink coffee and energy
drinks. Caffeine and sugar are unfortunately
staples of the student diet, especially when
there is a need to focus or study late, but both
of these offer temporary solutions with
negative long-term effects. Both caffeine
and sugar will exacerbate the symptoms of
stress. Excess caffeine can lead to poor
sleeping habits, while excess sugar causes a
depletion of energy levels and increased
fatigue.
Exercise regularly
A healthy diet should be paired with regular
exercise, which has been shown to increase
energy levels, improve concentration,
improve relaxation and help students get a
better night's sleep. Moreover, regular
exercise also has a positive effect on our
susceptibility to stress, as it enhances
confidence and self-esteem. Common
excuses to avoid exercise include a lack of
motivation or time, but the truth is that the
vast majority of students are able to find
opportunities to exercise. They have access
to facilities for a wide range of activities and
sports at their college, so every student can
find at least one activity they enjoy. If not,
they can still find time to exercise during the
course of a regular day by simply walking or
biking to class and back.
Get enough sleep
A day filled with healthy meals and plenty of
exercise should end with a long, relaxing
sleep at night. Between the demands of
studying and the temptation to go out
partying at night, many students get far less
sleep than they should. Going to bed early
might put a damper on the plans of the
average college student, but getting 7 to 8
hours of sleep each day will result in the
student being less anxious, more relaxed,
more energetic and more focused the next
day. One study performed by the University
Health Center of the University of Georgia
(4) showed that students average around 6
hours of sleep per night, but also that
students who sleep 7 to 8 hours a night have a
higher GPA than those who sleep less. The
same study also showed that regularly
scheduled naps can be highly beneficial, as is
the importance of having a constant sleeping
ritual.

he Surat Educa�onal Nigeria Limited, the parent company of Tthe Nigerian Turkish Interna�onal Colleges, established the
first branch of the college in 1998 in Abuja. Several other
branches have since been established which bring the total number
to twelve secondary schools. These could be found in Abuja,
Kaduna, Kano, Lagos, Ogun and Yobe States.
Our school, Nigerian Turkish Interna�onal College, Ogun, formerly in
Opebi axis of Ikeja, was established in the year 2000 and since then
has been growing stronger in all posi�ve aspects. The school moved
to its permanent site at Isheri, along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in
Ogun State. The academic is a blend of two curricula with the
emphasis on the Nigerian curriculum as formulated by the Nigerian
Educa�onal Research and Development Council and approved for all
schools in Nigeria by the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Educa�on. The
students go through a six-year secondary school educa�on
programme with the first three years leading to the wri�ng of the
Basic Educa�on Cer�ficate Examina�on conducted by the Na�onal
Examina�on Council (NECO), and the last three leading to the wri�ng
of the Senior Secondary School Cer�ficate Examina�on conducted
by both the West African Examina�on Council (WAEC) and the
Na�onal Examina�on Council. The school also prepare students for
the Scholas�c Ap�tude Tests (SAT 1 and SAT Subject Tests), TOEFL,
IELPT, ICDL, and the University Founda�on Programme.
Unique Selling Points
The school prides itself on a number of factors which have jointly
ensured great successes of its students in both local and
interna�onal examina�ons and compe��ons. The first is the unique
educa�onal administra�on method which the owners of the school
have adapted into the Nigerian educa�on administra�on. The
second, though related, is the highly technical instruc�onal feedback
mechanisms which enable the school administrators to, at all �mes,
keep abreast of teachers and students performance. This factor has
always ensured a sustained focus on con�nuous students and
teachers'' improvement programmes. The fourth is the persistent
facility improvement which is not limited to any par�cular period of
the session. According to the mission statement of the ins�tu�on
the focus is always to make the school remain the right environment
for learning.
Entrance Examina�on
It is, unexpectedly, not an easy task ge�ng admission into an
interna�onal college like NTIC owing essen�ally to the
compe��veness nature of the admission process. The school has its
way of picking the suitable candidates from among the throng
wri�ng the entrance examina�ons into the school. A successful
candidate at the entrance exam would s�ll need to go through the
oral interview to prove his me�le. The parents of successful children
equally would be met by the school officials before an admission
le�er is issued. All of these ensure that only the best are offered the
admission into the school.
Co-Curricula, Extra-Curricula, Social Ac�vi�es etc.
The school (NTIC) organizes series of co-curricula (inter-school quiz,
debates, spelling bees etc.) and extra curricula (clubs, excursions,
career tests, thye weekly class mee�ngs), ac�vi�es as complements
to whatever is taught in classrooms. In all of these, the students have
benefited immensely.
Each academic department has its own set of annual programmes or
week. There are Mathema�cs Week, Social Science Week, Language
Week, etc. There are other general programmes that involve all the
branches together. Such are The Annual Na�onal Mathema�cs
Compe��on for Primary Pupils, the Annual Science Fair, and the
Annual Cultural Fes�val and Friendship Day. Schools and parents are
also invited to be part of these events which are o�en organized with
relevant government agencies. They all help to ensure that in NTIC,
there is never a dull moment, and the students learn both inside and
outside of classrooms.
Excursions are not le� out of the school's ac�vi�es. Relevant but
fantas�c field trips are organized for students benefit.
Sports
Sport ac�vity in NTIC Ogun School is one of several avenues through
which a bond or cordial rela�onship between the staff and the
students is formed and cemented. Both students and teachers
relate well on the field of sports and the sustenance of this leads to a
bond being established between them. Just as they relate on the
football pitch or basketball or volleyball court, students relate freely
with their teachers to seek advice, correc�ons, opinions and
guidance rela�ng to individual student cogni�ve, social and spiritual
developments.
Achievements
So far, the school has earned great honour for itself and the country
going by the array of medals it has won in both na�onal and
interna�onal compe��ons. The school could lay claim to having won
twenty-nine gold medals, thirty two silver medals and sixteen bronze
medals in various interna�onal Olympiads and quiz compe��ons at
which it has represented the country. These are besides na�onal
honours in Na�onal compe��ons like Cowbell and other local
compe��ons.

Th e s u c c e s s s to r y o f T h o m a s A d ew u m i Interna�onal College (TAICO) is borne out of the vision and commitment of the Founders of the
school, Dr. and Mrs Adewumi. The Founders started the school in 1997 in a remote village named Oko, near Omu-Aran in Kwara State, with a vision to enhance excellent academic performance for all students by providing world class educa�onal facili�es, resources and personnel that would be keys to bringing their vision into reality. According to Jonathan Swi� “vision is the art of seeing what is impossible in the eyes of others” and this is obviously true for TAICO because star�ng a school in a remote village nearly 20 years ago didn't reveal the fact the College would educate and graduate many successful leaders that are now making a huge impact all around the world.
The College leadership and teaching team lead by the
Principal, Dr Roy K. Lillyman, is another key to our
success story. Many educa�on experts and prac��oners
all around the world agree that the quality of school
leadership and teaching are two cri�cal determining
factors influencing posi�ve schooling outcomes for all
pupils. In the words of Mark Yarnell “a leader is someone
who demonstrates what is possible” and this is true for
TAICO in that we have a school leader who has very high
expecta�ons of all teachers, parents and pupils and who
also demonstrates competence in bringing out the best
in everybody. The synergy between the senior
leadership team and other members of staff ensures
pupils are well supported through the friendly and
comfortable learning environment in the school, the
high performance culture, zero tolerance for indiscipline
amongst students and other stakeholders, and the
available resources provided to support teaching and
learning.
Vision and leadership are keys
to our success but they are not
enough to describe it all. One
other factor is our con�nued
investment in infrastructures
and upgrading of exis�ng
faci l i�es that are able to
support the growth of the
College as a whole. For example
over the last few years, we have completed the building
a solar powered ICT building, built more hostels,
upgraded the kitchen and dining hall facili�es, brought
in electronic teaching boards and upgraded the library
and spor�ng facili�es. This coming summer holiday is
expected to be used to upgrade some of our hostel
facili�es, classrooms areas and many more. We pride
ourselves in our commitment to con�nuously seek
improvements in all aspects of the School rather than
res�ng on our past laurels.
Professional development of our educators has always
been top of our agenda contribu�ng significantly to
enhance performance of our teachers and leaders and
that has made it possible for them to offer more value to
the school and most importantly to the students they
teach. We believe keeping pace with other prac��oners
around the globe is good for our professional prac�ce
and more importantly is our policy of adop�ng global
best prac�ces only suited to our working contexts and
philosophy as a School. Professor Chris Husbands in
2014 argued that 'the vast majority of what we can
understand about effec�ve teaching prac�ces has only
rela�vely recently developed' and for TAICO we
recognise these trends and therefore invest heavily in
our staff development to posi�on the College to put new
knowledge into prac�ce to enhance our overall
performance and effec�veness as a College.

morals” students are given assignment in various
subjects for at least three �mes in a week. Any student
that fails to meet up is exposed and dealt with. The
school library is conducive and spacious for smooth
learning.
Furthermore, special evening lesson is organized for
students between the hours of 2:30pm and 4:00pm.
This lesson centers majorly and solely on Mathema�cs
and English Language.
Teachers are encouraged to go for further training in
educa�on and related fields of studies. The school goes
to the extent of sending Teachers abroad for training.
Also, interac�ve boards are used in teaching students in
the various classes.
There are various clubs available in Barachel Ranging
from Jet club, Dance drama club, Press club, etc.
The boarding house facility is incomparable students
are encouraged to have good rapour with their class
teachers to enhance interac�on mee�ng holds annually
for great interpersonal rela�onship between the
teachers and the parents.
Moreover, the school has a special package of gravity for
a teacher that has spent up to five years in ac�ve service
of the school and willing to re�re voluntarily.
Barachel does not believe in the adjec�ve “good” or
“be�er” at all levels, but “best” just like the
philosophical statement of the school “strive for the

balanced with the need to ensure that students learn to use the internet safely. Within the school we have both fibre op�c and wirelessnetworks that allow staff and students to connect to the school intranet, use the school server to back up their work and allow teachers to use central resources in every classroom. Access to the world wide web is available through the central server but this is carefully managed and monitored to ensure it is not abused. We have recently upgraded our internet connec�on from a VSAT network to a wireless point to point connec�on providing us with high speed internet access via a fibre op�c backbone. Each classroom is fi�ed with state of the art projectors and teachers have access to a wide range of bespoke so�ware to ensure that children are exposed to the most modern teaching prac�ces. The school is developing a Virtual Learning Environment which will allow students to extend their learning through directed online research projects. As part of our determina�on to remain at the forefront of educa�onal technology we are currently exploring the role out of iPad based learning across the school. We have developed a partnership with Samuel Lister Academy, a pilot iPad school in the UK, and will be rolling out the iPad programme across the school in a carefully managed project that we believe is unique in Nigeria. In addi�on to learning through technology we also use technology to ensure that parents are fully up to date with all ac�vi�es in the school and their child's progress. Whether yourpreferred communica�on method is SMS, Facebook, twi�er, Linked In or email we will keep you informed. You can track your child's progress on our bespoke Eduportal which is constantly being developed to ensure you are fully involved in your child's development at Olashore Interna�onal School.

Powerful Forces That Psychological Make People Do ThingsGood Bad
By Dr. Travis Bradberry
Given the right circumstances, good people can get caught
up in some very bad things. More often than not,
psychology is to blame.
When it comes to unethical behavior, good people don't tend to go
right off the deep end like Bernie Madoff or Kenneth Lay. Rather, the
mind plays tricks on them, pushing them down the slippery slope of
questionable behavior.
"Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching." -C.
S. Lewis
Dr. Muel Kaptein, Professor of Business Ethics and Integrity
Management at the Rotterdam School of Management, has studied
bad behavior for decades. A study he recently published sheds
considerable light on what motivates good people to do bad things.
What follows are 14 of Dr. Kaptein's most compelling findings into
how the mind tricks good people into losing their moral compass and
going astray.
The compensation effect. The compensation effect refers to the
tendency for people to assume they accumulate moral capital. We use
good deeds to balance out bad deeds, or alternately, we give ourselves
breaks from goodness, like a piece of chocolate after a week of salads.
This makes people more inclined to do bad things under the guise of
"I'm a good person" or "It's just this one thing." A great example of
this is a study in which people were observed lying and cheating more
after they made the decision to purchase products that were good for
the environment.
The power of names. What you name something is important, as it
can skew people's sense of reality. If companies assign unethical
practices simple and humorous euphemisms (like "financial
engineering" for accounting fraud), employees are less likely to take
their unethical behavior seriously. Thomas Watson, the founder of
IBM, was famous for saying, "Doing business is a game, the greatest
game in the world if you know how to play it." Something as simple
as calling business a game can make people less likely to see that their
42
he prestigious and extra-ordinary Khadija Memorial
TAcademy, Kano, was established in the year 2007. The
secondary school being a science-oriented college was
founded solely with the aim of giving sound and world-standard
science education, knowledge and foundation to the students
from low-income and academically- backward families.
The school employs only quali�ied experienced and dedicated
teachers to teach both theoretical and practical aspects of various
subjects. Hence the school has standard and well equipped
science laboratories, computer lab, and a school library. Also
since too much reading without play makes jack a dull dog, the
school provides the students with various sporting facilities and
kits.
Furthermore, our bright and talented students almost always
participate and win inter-schools quizzes, debates, and
mathematics competitions. Hence, our name and achievements
are on every lip in Kano city. Likewise our well-taught and
illustrious former students are in every famous national and
international universities.
Also, it is well-known that our remarkable students always pass
internal, national and international examinations like WAEC and
NECO, SSCE, JAMB UTME, London GCE, TOEFL, etc with �lying
colours of excellence. In addition, our unique academy in spite of
its young age has produced countless medical doctors, engineers,
pharmacist, accountants, journalist, teacher's lecturers etc.
It is also beyond reasonable doubt that, Kano Khadija Memorial
Academy, has achieved what no any other private school has
achieved within a very short period of time, in the history of Kano
State.
All the best.

actions have serious, real-world consequences.
Cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort
humans feel when they hold two contradictory opinions or their
behavior is inconsistent with their beliefs. It's one of the strongest
psychological forces driving human behavior. When people who feel
they are good do bad things, cognitive dissonance makes them ignore
this behavior because they can't tolerate the inconsistency between
their behavior and their beliefs.
Broken window theory. The broken window theory argues that chaos
and disorder in an organization make people believe they work for an
ineffectual authority. In response, they are more likely to commit
unethical behavior that's in line with this perceived chaos. An
example of this was when Mayor Rudy Giuliani lowered major crime
rates in New York City in the 1980's by cracking down on petty crime.
Living in a city that was less riddled with crime, New Yorkers came to
believe in the organization running their city, which slowed the rate of
major crimes.
Tunnel vision. There's nothing wrong with setting goals and driving
hard to achieve them. This only becomes a problem when people are
possessed by a singular focus on a particular goal, to the point that
they leave other important considerations such as compassion and
ethics out of their thinking.
The Pygmalion effect. The Pygmalion effect refers to the tendency
people have to act the way that other people treat them. For example,
if employees are treated like they're upright members of a team,
they're more likely to act accordingly. Alternately, if they're treated
with suspicion, they're more likely to act in a way that justifies that
perception.
The pressure to conform. The pressure to conform is powerful. When
a group engages in unethical behavior, individuals are far more likely
to participate in or condone that behavior rather than risk standing out.
Obedience to authority. It's quite difficult for most people to ignore
the wishes of those in authority positions. People also feel like they're
less responsible for wrongdoings if they act under the direction of
someone else. Both of these reasons explain why employees are
likely to act out the unethical wishes of their supervisors-and feel far
less guilt than if they had decided to do it themselves.
Winner-take-all competition. We live in a society where there is often

The Ambassadors schools established in 1998 is a Chris�an
co-educa�onal school that is driven by a God ordained
unc�on to manifest greatly in the younger genera�on.
We are out to correct the misconcep�on that proclaims this
genera�on of youth as a wasted one and rebrand the Nigerian
youth to become worthy ambassadors and reputable leaders.
Our vision at The Ambassadors Schools is to foster the spiritual,
physical, emo�onal and academic development of every child.
This we achieve by providing solid func�onal literacy for students
through the blending of biblical & moral principles plus a value
–added guidance and counselling with emphasis on qualita�ve
co-curricular ac�vi�es.
As a result of this, our curriculum is broad based and it is
fashioned to cover subjects in every field of human endeavours
both na�onally and interna�onally so that we ul�mately produce
total individuals. We combine the Bri�sh curriculum with the
exis�ng Nigerian curriculum. This complexity is fashioned to help
our students prepare for life outside the oceans of Nigeria.
Since the future of a na�on begins with and is guaranteed by the
simultaneous intellectual and character development of its
replacement genera�on--its young people, therefore, we have
set necessary machinery in mo�on to create a dynamic scene
with students and systems in place that can flow with the
emerging trend in the educa�on industry. Thus, we are always at a
vantage posi�on to an�cipate and proffer solu�ons to any
educa�onal needs of all our students.
Among the dangers threatening the educa�onal sector today is
that of the issue of conducive learning environment. All educators
know that the atmosphere within the school contributes as much
to the success of the students as the curriculum. The challenge of
crea�ng a posi�ve environment for learning transcends the
debate of whether schools need to become more goals oriented
and more accountable for their results. It is about making a school
a place where children work hard but enjoy it, where
achievement is the product but not the sole objec�ve but a place
where all round quality is imbued in the students. For these
reasons, we ensure that our learning environment is in line with
acceptable standard and an I.C.T compliant one at that.Our
students learn in a stress free environment. At present, the school
boasts of two I.C.T laboratories with each having 36 laptops which
translate to one student in excess one laptop.
Apart from our environment and facili�es put in place to ensure
hassle free learning, we lay much emphasis on students discipline
because we believe it is our driving force to greater achievements
and to the glory of God this had helped us a�ain this lo�y height
we now so much cherished. Our level of discipline is high since we
have the backing of our ever suppor�ve P.T.A body to fully enforce
this.
At the academic level, it is our belief that every child is born with a

knack to learn, a desire to impress and a mind haunted by the
spirit of curiosity. To achieve our aim of producing first-class
students at all �mes, the school usually conduct a bi-monthly test
tagged the KING AND QUEEN test. These days, most young
people are not willing to learn on their own except they are forced
to do so, hence, these King and Queen tests. These tests help to
assess our students' rate of assimila�on and reten�on as per
what they have learnt within a par�cular period of �me.
In most cases and from what we have witnessed so far, students
strive hard to excel in these tests since they know these tests form
a bulk of their con�nuous assessment for promo�on. However
and as a form of mo�va�on, students with consistent level of
performance, that is, those that emerged on three or four �mes
within a term are usually given a token or sponsored to a
supermarket of choice. Again and crucially too, those who fall
below the school standard of 60% and above in these tests are
placed compulsorily on academic proba�on so as to brush them
up in their weak subjects.
For the simple fact that we do not take chances with our
academics, the school went a step further than what obtains in
most schools by ensuring that there are three teachers per arm
teaching English and Mathema�cs at a �me. This is to ensure
effec�ve teaching and learning while avoiding distrac�ons. Since
it is only one teacher teaching at a �me, others are to ensure that
no students are distracted and all notebooks plus class
assignments are duly marked as and when due.
Quite apart from all the aforemen�oned structures put in place,
we train and re-train our teachers periodically to enhance their
maximum outputs. Some have been trained for IGCSE, SAT and
other foreign examina�ons even as we invite facilitators from
�me to �me to conduct in-house training.
Our track recordsof achievements speak volume. At present, we
are the second best school in terms of the 2014 WAEC result
ra�ng in the whole of south-west, first in Lagos and Ogun States
and 8th overall best in Nigeria. Addi�onally and just this year, 3 of
our students recorded landslide feat in their 2016 IGCSE results.
Each of them had 100% in Mathema�cs and were subsequently
recognized and inducted into the Bri�sh Council Hall of fame.
Again, the Ambassadors College has won and dominated the
Cowbell Mathema�cs compe��on on several occasions. We
were Ogun State champion in 2010 and went on to represent the
state at the na�onal final in Abuja and came overall third. This st thsame feat was repeated in 2013 (1 in Ogun State and 5 in
Nigeria) and just this year, 2016,one of our students Master thIheme Keneth was adjudged the 5 most outstanding Chemistry
student in Nigeria in a compe��on that featured over 300
students na�onally and sponsored by the Chemical Society of
Nigeria. He was the overall best in Ogun State. We are as well a
dominant force to be reckoned with in various spelling Bee
compe��ons. At present, one of our students is in the final of
Spelling Bee compe��on organized by Team master while in
another, we produced nine out of the ten finalist. The final of the
two compe��ons are slated for Abuja and to be held some�mes
in May.
As far as provision of necessary facili�es is concerned, we sa�sfy
our conscience that we have everything needed to make a world
class ins�tu�on. Our library is well stocked with latest textbooks,
tapes, CDS and journals in various field of human endeavours - all
in an effort to be above board at all �mes. It is structured such that
a student has his/her own privacy without any unnecessary
disturbance from another person. Equally we have well equipped
laboratories for Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Food & Nutri�on and
special rooms such as Fine Arts Studio, Music room and Technical
Drawing room. Ours is a model example of what a standard
laboratory should be. We do not operate mul�purpose
laboratory – a prac�ce obtainable in most schools where only one
laboratory is used for all purposes.
At the psychomotor level, we are bold and proud to say that we
have all spor�ng equipment in place that meet interna�onal
standard. Among these are a mini sport field, a tartan track,
Olympic-size modern table tennis courts, a basketball court, and
other major and minor sports equipment in our sports arena
which is located in an a�rac�vely sophis�cated expanse of land
within the school compound but quite a distance from our
academic environment.
At The Ambassadors, we always have in mind that for us to make
an all-round impact in the lives of all our students, there is the
need for them to have an experience of a life �me in the boarding
school. As a result of this, the boarding sec�on of our school is
structured to be in line with the best prac�ces available globally.
Our hostel is simply world class and truly a home away from
home.
To back all these up are academically qualified and professionally
competent na�on builders -- the teachers. We do not just employ
anybody to teach. Our method of recrui�ng teacher is thoroughly
rigorous. The applicant must pass all relevant tests plus prac�cal
micro-teaching and cer�fied by other teachers who watched
him/her teach and must equally be approved by students. This is
to forestall a situa�on where half-baked teachers are employed.
Much to our joy and to the glory ofGod,we can say without
mincing words that our teachers are truly God sent.
The above system has even helped us in many ways. Chief among
these is that we have low staff turnout rate. The management
ensures that our system is teacher friendly and most importantly
too, we do not owe salary. We pay everything our teachers are
en�tled to as and when due. No teacher can say anywhere that he
or she is being owed one month salary let alone accumula�on of
salaries.
In addi�on, the management has in place a strong welfare
scheme for all its staff members, a func�onal co-opera�ve system
and above all a pension scheme for everyone.
All these we have been able to put together because the
management will always go the extra mile to benchmark the best
prac�ces available with the central focus and overriding aim of
always giving the best at all �mes.
To God alone be the glory.
o a�end o the yarning of the people and to promote Teduca�onal development among the youths in Epe and its

only one winner: one person wins the prize, one person gets the job,
one person receives the credit. But does this competitive culture really
produce the best outcomes? When it comes to ethical behavior, the
answer is no. When there is only one winner in a given situation,
people are more likely to cheat rather than face the consequences of
losing.
Social bond theory. Employees are more likely to be loyal to their
companies if they feel unique, valued, and important. The more they
feel that they're replaceable and underappreciated, the more likely
they are to commit ethical violations.
The blinding effect of power. People in power typically see
themselves as inherently different from their employees. This can
lead them to set ethical boundaries for their employees that are more
stringent than the ones they set for themselves. What happens next is
the stuff of newspaper headlines.
Conspicuous consumption. When companies splash money around,
they contribute to unethical behavior. Flashy displays of wealth lead
to increased selfishness. Employees either aim hard for these carrots
or develop jealousy of their high-rolling colleagues who achieve
them. This leads to people who are more likely to put their own needs
ahead of doing the right thing.
Acceptance of small theft. One might think that taking small things
from the workplace, like notebooks, pens, and computer paper, is
harmless. But when small thefts are ignored by management, people
become far more likely to up the ante.
Reactance theory. People like their freedom. If they feel that the rules
imposed on them are too strict or too restrictive, they often break
those rules-and even go further against protocol than they otherwise
would have.
Bringing It All Together
Perhaps the most shocking thing about ethical violations is the simple,
almost mundane conditions that contribute to them. Thankfully, a
little bit of knowledge goes a long way in reducing environments that
contribute to this behavior.

�er the Educa�on Code of 1926, there was agita�on by the Catholics of Lagos to have a full fledged ASecondary School in which their wards could be prepared for the Cambridge Senior School Cer�ficate like
Kings College. Bishop Ferdinand Terrien, the Vicar Apostolic of the Bight of Benin listened to their agita�ons th
and established St. Gregory's College on 27 January, 1928 as the flagship of Catholic Educa�on in Lagos and named
it a�er one of the greatest Popes in Chris�andom, Pope Gregory the Great.
Bishop Terrien a�ended the official opening of the College in 1928 and welcomed the governor, Sir Graeham

INTERCONTINENTAL SCHOOLS consists of four
enviable sections of academic learning environment.
This school was established in 1996 over the years the
school grown from one section to the other with notable
academic and moral inputs which are comparable to non
in our environment. These enviable growth and
achievement stem from the hardwork and perseverance
in achieving excellent result from the heart of the
founding fathers of the school in the person of Alhaji and
Hajia Hadiza Nuhu Yusuf Baba who painstakingly from
the scratch moulded an academic environment built on
nothing but the best for the students and staff.
DARUL-NOOR SECTION
The Darul Noor Section is an Arabic (Islamic) and
Western based breeding ground. It is specially designed
to suit the growing under-fives through to the primary
five level of a normal primary education. Children of
ages 3-10 are the expected majority here as our main aim
is to have a set of fluent Arabic and English speaking
pupils. As they advance to the primary level of Darul
Noor Section, they learn the best of normal Western
education plus the Qur'anic and acquire more Arabic
vocabulary. Our seasoned and qualified teachers with
great years of experience ensure that the set academic
and moral goals are achieved. This is evident first in the
fluency of our pupils in both Arabic and English
languages in school (and thus can be tested even at
home). The years of experience of our teachers makes it
possible for our pupils to compete and beat any pupil of
same age or class from any part of the the world.
Moreover the pupils are taught the Islamic and Arabic
curriculum by learned scholars that have memorized the
Holy Qur'an. Pupils can memorized the Quran before the
end of Junior Secondary School.
MAGNET SECTION
The Magnet Section is designed with colorful
classrooms where pupils are divided into carefully
planned interest areas. It is filled with bright primary
colors and a variety of materials for your child to
manipulate, explore, snuggle, play with, and share. The
room is especially designed to encourage your child's
natural curiosity and desire to learn about his/her world
widely.
The organization of their classroom send important
signals to children about "what there are to do and how to
do them," Research finding indicates that a well-
organized classroom helps children learn and motivates
them to interact positively with one another.
Here, children feel safe and secure as they are introduced
to reading. Brightly illustrated children's books are
displayed on low shelves. In front of them, children are

sited on their chairs with the books they have selected.
They sit around large, comfortable, multi-colored tables
as a teacher helps them pronounce words. In their
activity room, the teachers play educational songs for
them to learn in a rhythmic style. They learn how to build
a physical look of distinct existing objects using blocks
and by manipulative play.
PRIMARY SECTION
The Intercontinental Primary School prides itself with
a consistent college, ready to instruct and mould pupils
to adhere. This is owing to the fact that our targeted aim is
met by a set of qualified teachers that put in effort week in
week out every session, making sure the set goal are
achieved. The Primary Section includes the UPPER
KINDERGATEN (UPKG) through to the Basic 5 level
classes.
Our aim is to produce academically sound pupils with
good morals, and so far we thank God for enabling us
achieve these set goals. Our pupils are a bunch who
speak fluently and understand perfectly spoken English
language. Pupils who are exposed to rigorous
mathematical puzzles and brain teasers to brighten their
mathematical and cognitive skills.
The Intercontinental Schools also go extra mile
providing a 21st Century Learning Environment with the
inclusion of the K-12 Microsoft IT Academy Program,
exposing the pupils to the Microsoft applications at an
early age making them ready for the persistent computer
age. Thus prepare our pupils for the challenging digital
world.
The Jolly Phonics Program is another vital teaching
device included in our Primary School ensuring that the
children's spoken English is improved to a standard we
set to achieve. This program is added to curriculum of the
Upper KG through the Basic three (3) level. We chose
this because, this is the age they learn how to
communicate with their peers and teachers, making sure
their spoken English is taken care of adequately.
The pupil's written English is improved by weekly essay
writing and spellings. This checks their ability to spell
words and know their meanings in the process. A
Superstar Award is given to the best pupils in both
categories of spelling and essay writing. This encourages
the hardworking ones amongst our pupil and motivates
those that have little interest.
The Islamiyah program is optional but highly
recommended by Intercontinental Schools.
COLLEGE SECTION
The Intercontinental College is to many tertiary
institutions home and abroad our pride; it is the final
package we give to the Parent/Society, therefore, a set of
veteran teachers handle this precious students our final
product that goes out. Students are exposed to the best of
educational courses where a standard library, well-
equipped scientific laboratories and a functional
Computer laboratory, this ensure that the students are a
product, ready not only for the tertiary (higher
insti tutions) but also prepares them for l ife
achievements.
The College also builds on the Basic 5 efforts, ensuring
that students are capable of expressing themselves
through weekly Spellings and Essay writings. These
prepare the students for examination in making them
have ready, to pursue greater academic heights. The
students tend to know a little in almost every discipline
and other life endeavours.
Our state of the Art Computer Laboratories and highly
stocked library make our school a conducive learning
environment. This is the reason why our students can
stand out in the crowd to produce marvelous results in
external examinations; WAEC, NECO, SAT, TOEFL,
etc. These excellent results are only achieved through
pragmatic teaching methods and firm discipline among
the students.
Our students produce wonderful results at tertiary
institutions in and outside the country, due to the
enviable standard and quality education, we provide,
couple with the seasoned WAEC/NECO, Team leaders
and Assistant Examiners that abounds in all subject
departments of academic pursuit in the school.
The Cambridge section of the college has been created to
take care of most of our students who intend to study
abroad; to this end the language laboratory and viewing
room newly established in the school will go a long way
in developing the students listening and speaking ability.
So also the viewing room where most of the abstract
concept are simulated for better understanding.
The students in both primary and college are activity
drills in co-curriculum activities; clubs and societies are
well established and functional in the school, in the just
concluded spell bee and scramble competition organized rd
in the state, our student came third (3 ) position in spell st
Bee and first (1 ) position in scramble.

Our Mission Statement
To Training future leaders who will be sound professionals and DISTINCTIVELY create NICHES for themselves in their chosen careers.
Vision StatementWe are committed to achieving constant 100% in students' performance in WASSCE and NECO Examination to add values to students' lives in getting admissions into Tertiary Institution to pursue careers of their choice. HISTORIAL PRESPECTIVES Lagos State Model College Igbokuta was established in February 1988 along with four other Colleges. The college took off at Government College, Ketu, Epe. A year later in January 1989 it moved to a beautiful edifice in Igbokuta that is known today as its permanent site. However, the school had a rebirth on January 6, 2003 when the State Government divided all secondary school in the state into Senior and Junior Colleges and was re-christened into Lagos State Model College, Igbokuta.
As a new name aptly suggests, Model College Igbokuta was established to serve as a role models, for other academic institutions in quality learning, academic excellence, personal integrity, Moral probity and the inculcation of patriotic principles and basic disciplines in the Nigerian child. To achieve these lofty aims, it has been a tripartite co-operation and contribution among the major stakeholders. The State Government, the College authority and the Parent Forum From inception to date, the school has six principals Mrs. S.A. Adebisi Started the race in 1988 as the foundation principal and passed the baton to Mr. R.A. Balogun in 1995, Mrs. C.A. Adegbola took over in 1996. After her, was Mr. Akinwande in 1999, He also did his best before handling over in 2001 to Alhaji W.A.B. Olowo. Alhaji Olowo is the first Principal of the reborn and re-christened Lagos State Senior Model College, Igbokuta. Mr. J.O Akande the incumbent Principal assumed the mantle of Leadership as acting
principal from March 2009 to January 2010 when he was confirmed as the substantive Principal. He has maintained the tempo of academic as well as administrative excellence and he has drastically changed the tone of the school, his tenure has witnessed excellent performance in WASSCE, NECO as well as co-curriculum activities of the school. He is ably being assisted by Mrs. A.B. Oyesanya (Admin) Mr. Yemi Elufioye (V.P Acad.I) and Mr. Akinwale O. (V.P Acad. II). The school has produced high number of distinguished professional who have contributed in a great dimensions to the development of the fatherland and humanity as a whole. The school is a TOAST of many parents and students alike virtually every single child the school has produced is a potential undergraduate with 5 credit and above including English Language and Mathematics. The Lord Almighty is our secret. IMPROVED ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN WASSCE Our school is a Trail blazer in all ramifications. Hence
legacy of excellence, better service delivery in internal and external examination is sustained. Since 2009 to date the WASSCE result has been hovering around 80% and 90% performance in 5 credits and above including English Language and Mathematics.
