The entry-level class into our Secondary School is Year 7, and in the first three years, our students are introduced to more advanced studies in English, Mathematics, and Sciences. At the end of the three years, our students sit for the Checkpoint Examination. As one of the best secondary schools in Nigeria, our students have to undergo the Checkpoint Examination, because it helps us to understand their strengths and weaknesses – in preparation for the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) exam.
After the Checkpoint Examination, our students spend the next two years preparing for the IGCSE exam. Therefore, by enrolling your child in our Secondary School, he or she will spend five (5) years, building on the foundation set at the elementary level. At the end of Year 11, which is the final year of our Secondary School, your child will sit for the IGCSE exam which is conducted by the University of Cambridge Local Examination Syndicate (UCLES).
Subjects Offered in Our Secondary School
The IGCSE exam is taken by most of the best secondary schools in Lagos and Nigeria; thus, it is accepted by both universities in Nigeria and abroad. Greensprings School adopts the British curriculum which consists of the following subjects:
Greensprings School — Best Secondary School in Nigeria
Unlike other secondary schools’ curricula, the British IGCSE curriculum encourages high academic standards through a practical approach to teaching and learning; this is the reason most of the best secondary schools in Nigeria and all over the world, including Greensprings School, adopt it. Assessment of students via IGCSE examination isn’t limited to the written test, as students are also expected to undergo oral, listening and practical tests, etc.
Our teachers have the experience to guide the students to not only pass the IGCSE examination but to also understand how their learnings can be applied in their daily life – and ultimately to their environment.
