Parent questions
How do you handle Common Entrance preparation in Grade 2?
Quantitative and Verbal Reasoning are embedded in the weekly timetable now, so logic becomes a second language long before Grade 6.
Does Grade 2 focus more on the British or Nigerian curriculum?
A 50/50 blend — Cambridge Primary standards for core subjects, National Values and Social Studies for citizenship.
Is multiplication introduced this early?
Yes, but we teach the logic first. Repeated addition and arrays mean Pathfinders understand why 3 × 4 = 12 before memorising tables.
Parents ask themselves
Is the work pitched right for my child?
What happens if they are ahead — or behind?
Those are the right questions. Every page here is written to answer them plainly — and the admissions team will answer them in person on 07044000075.
The learning journey
“Sixteen class levels, one continuous arc — from a first morning to a university offer letter.”
How it works here
Known by name, taught by specialists.
Core work is reinforced under specialist supervision before the last bell, which is why children leave without a bag full of homework and still make progress.
Learning and evaluation happen together. Struggling learners get targeted support early; strong ones are stretched further.
Pastoral care is structural, not optional. Every child has an adult whose job is to notice.
