Currriculum
Success in the 21st century requires a national and global outlook. Therefore, we offer the best of national and international curricula with a broad range of subjects and options to achieve academic breadth and to provide a springboard for A level school and University admissions.
Junior Secondary School (JSS)
The school adopts a uniquely integrated approach in its academic content, combining both Nigerian and British curricula (Cambridge Checkpoint & KS3). The Cambridge Checkpoint is a final assessment given to Key Stage 3 pupils or ninth graders. This examination is conducted by the University of Cambridge and has international recognition and endorsement. The students will also sit for the Lifeforte Junior School Certificate Exam at the end of grade 9. All students from JSS 1 to 2 (grade 7-8) are required to do all the foundational subjects listed below.
