Our Senior Secondary students embarked on an educational excursion to the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Foundation, where history and civic education came alive.
During the guided tour, our students explored Nigeria’s democratic journey, gained a deeper understanding of national unity and civic responsibility, interviewed the site’s curator, and participated in an engaging question-and-answer session that broadened their perspectives.
Experiences like these reinforce our commitment to nurturing informed, responsible, and globally minded citizens by connecting classroom learning with real-world experiences.
Shining to a Greater Future. ✨
