We run an integrated, international curriculum tailored towards such examinations as WASSCE, NECO for Educational Research. The philosophical orientation of our curricular programme is pragmatism. This, coupled with the principle of child-centredness, makes ample room for discovery learning and active pupil participation in problem-solving activities. Pupils are involved in the construction of knowledge for optimum transfer value and social relevance. By this arrangement, teachers are regarded as facilitators and guides in the teaching-learning enterprise, rather than exclusive repositories of knowledge.
Furthermore, we provide opportunities for learning engagements which focus on the four pillars of learning as advocated by the Delor's Report to UNESCO's 1996 New Concept of Qualitative Education viz:
- Learning to know;
- Learning to do;
- Learning to be;
- Learning to live together.
In this connection, carefully thought-out and well-articulated curricular programmes/options are prepackaged and mediated through teacher-intervention for holistic development of learners. We try to establish priority among different possible learnings and present learning tasks are filtered through the screen of past and future experiences. Specific subject offerings are provided for their knowledge potentials in order to foster learners' maximum cognitive development. Emphasis is also placed on practical applications of the theoretical components of those subject offerings for the acquisition of relevant competencies for economic survival.
Our curriculum delivery process promotes hands-on educational/training programme that is well-adapted to the present automated age. Our students are given practical exposure to foundation courses for Entrepreneurship Education. These special programmes are run side-by-side with our regular academic courses. Thus, students have a unique opportunity of earning international certificates in Music, Clothing and Textile, Information Technology, Computer Technology etc.
Individual attention, small class size and moderate staff-pupils' ratio result in maximum learning gains. The school maintains a rigorous academic discipline and discountenances all forms of unseriousness in school activities. Homework must be done promptly and decently. Periodic performance assessments are organized and end-of-term examinations and record of progress presented to parents for gauging students' learning. Parents are most welcome to the school to discuss the progress of their children with us. Pupils are also intimated with their academic progress during regular pupil conferencing. Besides, a special programme is organized for dull pupils/students.
Our grading system according to their performance in the school internal examination are as follows:
