At a Glance

The school has grown from a handful students i.e. 1 student on day one to 30 students at the end of the first year and now at a population of over 200 students currently.

The school has done well academically despite having challenges in terms of the COVID-19 disruptions, teachers moving to seek employment with the government agencies. We work closely with parents, and BOM members. The environment is very conducive to the girl-child with a swimming pool, a large play-ground for different sports. We bench-mark with other model schools and also participate in extra-curriculum competition. We have a chapel for spiritual nourishment. Dr. Ken comes annually to see his girls and give them spiritual talks, materials, follow-up and encouragement!
