Leading Secondary Schools in Lagos

With the swarm of schools we have in Lagos, how can you as a parent make a proper decision regarding your child’s secondary school education?

Learning goes beyond just classroom work and exercises, extracurricular activities are also a way of teaching children different life values. This is also an aspect where a consideration of the choice of school for your child should come into play.

The secondary school is one of the first places where your child learns to properly build their social skills. Children also attain the stage of puberty while in secondary school so their transition from childhood to adulthood almost always begins while they are in secondary school. Apart from the guidance and influence that parents can, of course, give in this period to their young ones, the external influence such as the calibre of teachers or councilors can also play a major part in guiding the child and laying a solid foundation in their transition to adulthood.
