Our experimental teaching strategy challenges all learners to achieve their potential through the delivery of quality and comprehensive education.

Our teaching, learning and moral strategies are geared towards the following to maximize the potentials of the learners fully:

We ensure that our learners do not only acquire the competencies of the curriculum but to develop critical thinking and life-long analytical skills that would sharpen them to be global citizen-minded.

We give our learners equal opportunity to unearth their full potential.

Experienced teachers of high academic qualifications and examiners as well are employed to carefully and professionally prepare learners to write the BECE.

The school has remedial classes where learners who have challenges coping with the main-stream classroom lessons are put to be engaged by well-motivated, trained and experience teachers to nurture them at their own pace one on one to lift their academic standards up to parallel learners in the main-stream.

The school has a strong counseling team which readily meet to address the adolescent challenges which surface periodically at that level of education. Augmenting the counseling team is the disciplinary tem which meet to address adolescent related issues as they pop up.

A well-coordinated teaching and learning structure exist to coordinate, monitor the whole-day work of each learner and feedback to management for consideration and decision taking. The work of both teachers and learners  are checked to give value and meaning to the financial commitment of parents.
