HOW LEARNING IS ORGANISED:
16months to 5years (Pre-school)
In Pre school, our Montessori methodology is committed to serving children of all religious and ethnic backgrounds between the ages of 2 to 5 years. We follow the basic Montessori philosophy incorporating art, music and movement, dance, gymnastics, computer and outdoor play activities.
In our classrooms we use age-appropriate activities and learning tools, to create a flexible environment to meet the needs and interests of every child in our care.
While we strongly feel that Pre-school years need to be full of nurturing and praise, we take pride in teaching independence and preparing our children for the years ahead of them.
5 to 11 years (Elementary School)
Teaching from the age of 5 is by subject and is conducted by highly qualified specialist staff. This is a special feature of ASHA International Model School and gives children from an early age contact with subject specialists, not available to many children in other settings until secondary school. Our classes average around 20 pupils.
Our curriculum and assessment procedures take into account the British National Primary Framework and the Nigeria Elementary School curriculum, in addition to the core subjects of English, mathematics and science, includes history, information technology, , art, French and general knowledge.
Secondary School (11 to 16 years)
In grade 7, 8 and 9 students learn through a common course of study that is differentiated to meet their needs and interests.
