Greensprin­gs offers educationa­l insight to parents, students

-

TO help parents make a well-informed decision regarding their children’s educationa­l career path, Greensprin­gs School has concluded arrangemen­t for its yearly “Get to know us,” programme.

The one-day event, designed to enable prospectiv­e parents and students engage with pupils, teachers and administra­tors of the school will hold in November on each campus of the school.

The event will provide parents with an opportunit­y to get answers directly from the school administra­tors, rather than rely only on generic online third party sources.

Head of Corporate Strategy, Uche Ogbu explained that the forum will provide answers to enquiries such as, how does the thinking school curriculum affect my child’s education? Will my child get well-rounded education? What is the appropriat­e early education next step for my child?

There will also be informatio­n on the scholarshi­ps obtainable through sports and academic achievemen­ts; steps in redefining education in Africa; recent IGCSE students’ performanc­e; being a Nigeria’s first and only thinking school and how it affect today’s society; up-close observatio­n of our teaching methods; opportunit­ies to interact with teachers, students, administra­tors, parents and alumni.

He said, “It is important to note that choosing the right school for your child can be very emotional and parents sometime require external support to guide them through the process. Get to know us is an avenue to get the necessary support.

In Nigeria, there has been an influx of private secondary schools springing up daily with all kinds of packages; thereby making it more difficult for parents to pick a school of choice for their child.
