Our Curriculum
Based on wide research into major international curricula, the Nigerian curriculum inclusive, we developed a curriculum that has extensive extra and cross-curricular linkages that is project and enquiry based and focused on building the skills that will ensure success in the 21st century. The scope of teaching is clearly to align with teachings that will promote lifelong learning and survival skills for the 21st century. Skills like collaboration across networks, critical thinking and problem solving, adaptability, initiative, effective oral and written communication, curiosity and imagination, accessing and analyzing information.We have also enriched our curriculum with the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), which gives the children the following:
- Sense of self-identity – Nigerian children who are global
- International mindedness
- Broad based knowledge of their immediate environment and the world as a whole.
- Experiential learning
- Ability to embrace and celebrate persity
- Awareness and interest in global issues.
Technology
In 2003, we embarked upon a plan to make technology a tool in teaching learning, administration and research throughout all the schools in the Successfield system. We have spent substantial amount of money in equipping all laboratories and specialist rooms, networking, internet access, peripherals, and mobile computer labs for effective classroom teaching, curriculum development and teacher training. A major feature of our curriculum is the extensive use of information and communication technology skills
Staff Training
At least 5% of fee income is set aside for staff training. Staff training is broad-based and ranges from technical (pedagogy and subject-specific) training to curriculum development. attitude, leadership, poise and etiquette, financial planning, ICT training and so on. The results of these have been the continuous upward improvement in staff morale, skills and attitudes.
Improvement Of Staff Conditions Of Service
These are programmes aimed at improving staff conditions of service such as defined career paths, annual inflation-indexed salary adjustments, medical scheme, pension scheme, access to loans to purchase assets, merit-based opportunity for advancement etc. These have again translated to improved staff morale, productivity, and low staff turnover.
