The event was attended by representatives from the British Council and key government offices, including the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Climate Change and the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Student Engagement.

Stakeholders commended the depth of innovation and creativity displayed by the students and expressed interest in potential collaborations that could further strengthen technology and innovation education.

At Glisten International Academy, we remain committed to nurturing future innovators and equipping students with the skills needed to shape a sustainable and technology-driven future.

Our students participated in the Olumawu Schools Inter-School Reading Fair Competition, themed “Reading for Empathy, Achievement and Discovery (R.E.A.D)”, an initiative designed to nurture a lasting love for reading among students.

We are delighted to share that Glisten emerged as the 2nd Runner-Up in the Upper Primary category. We are proud of our students for their dedication, confidence, and excellent representation.

Our sincere appreciation to the organizers for this wonderful opportunity.

Year 12 Students’ Interactive Session with Management
Our Year 12 students had an interactive session with the management as they prepare to graduate. The discussion emphasized:
• Excellence in exams: Practical strategies to study smart and achieve their best.
• Ownership and responsibility: Leading their lives with discipline and accountability.
• Focus and resilience: Standing firm against peer pressure and negative influences.
• Growth mindset: Embracing a positive attitude, self-reflection, and determination to succeed.

Students were actively involved, sharing their concerns, challenges, and recommendations, making the session a platform for dialogue, reflection, and empowerment.

We sincerely thank the parents who were present for their support and encouragement, and our alumni who joined to share valuable insights and advice, inspiring our students as they step toward the next chapter of their lives.

The Toyota Motor Corporation Dream Car Art Contest invites children around the world to imagine and design cars that can make life better, safer, and happier.

We are proud that our students took part in this global initiative, expressing bold ideas through creative and thoughtful artwork. Their participation reflects innovation, imagination, and the confidence to dream beyond limits.

The Glisten Parents Inclusion Programme (GPIP) has successfully been wrapped up for this term following a series of engaging and insightful classroom observation sessions.

We sincerely appreciate all our parents who made time to participate, observe, and support the programme throughout its duration. Your involvement continues to strengthen the partnership between home and school, enriching the overall learning experience of our students.

Thank you for your commitment and collaboration. We look forward to even greater engagement in the coming term as we continue shining to a greater future.

Our students proudly represented Glisten International Academy at the Child Foresight Analysis Workshop in collaboration with UNICEF, engaging in critical conversations on Nigeria’s future from transformational reforms to the risks of stagnation and collapse.

We are especially proud that our Chief Executive was invited as a Special Guest at this impactful gathering, contributing leadership insight to conversations centered on literacy, equity, and inclusive education.

Moments like this reaffirm our commitment to raising future-ready leaders while actively shaping the systems that support them.

At Glisten, we don’t just prepare students for the future — we help design it.
