School Curriculum:

Pre-School:

The Montessori method of teaching is used at Imaginations School. The Montessori method addresses children’s basic needs and allows them to naturally develop and make the most of their innate capabilities.

Montessori education is a multi-age, child-oriented method of education designed to assist children in their natural process of growth and development. Based on a profound respect for children, Montessori provides a structured environment for individual learning. The classrooms are prepared environments equipped with a full range of educational materials. Children’s natural curiosity leads to exploration and learning.

Primary:

For the Primary Section, a rich blend of the British and Nigerian curriculum is used. This is to ensure the children have an international exposure whilst still staying true to their Nigerian roots. A lot of emphasis is placed on reading and the Jolly Phonics synthetic method used to teach Literacy encourages early reading by the children.

Staffing:

Our staff are qualified, enthusiastic, committed and experienced educators and mothers.

Crèche:

The staff in this section are motherly, caring and loving. As a matter of fact, all the caregivers in the Crèche are mothers and the staffing ratio is 1:4.

Pre-School:

In the Nursery section, the staff are all B.sc and B.ed graduates with a wealth of experience from other reputable schools and the staffing ratio is 1:8.

Primary:

In the Primary section, class and subject teachers are used and the teachers are all B.sc and E.ed graduates.

Extra Curricular Activities:

For the all-round development of the children, extra – curricular activities are available for the children. Activities currently available for children in the Pre-School and Primary are Robotics class, Red Cross and Scouts club, Swimming, Martial Arts and Ballet.

Music is also being taught as a subject in Nursery 2 and the Primary classes and they are exposed to both the theory and the practical. We have a rich and robust orchestra and our children can compete favorably with their peers, anywhere in the country..

We also have Chess and Scrabble as part of the curriculum for the children. This is to develop their reasoning ability and whilst Chess is particularly useful in Mathematics, Scrabble is useful both in Mathematics and English as it also helps build the children’s vocabulary. The scrabble is only for the Primary pupils but Chess is introduced from Nursery 2, right through the primary classes.

CLUB ACTIVITIES

We currently have several clubs for the children in Nursery 2 and the Primary classes. The clubs currently available are the Literary and Debating Club, the JETS club and the Cultural and Dramatic Club.

The Literary and Debating club enriches the children’s vocabulary and gives them the confidence to express themselves publicly.

The Cultural and Dramatic club helps them to showcase their talents and inner abilities. It also exposes them to more of the Nigerian culture and takes them “on an imaginative trip” to other foreign cultures.

The JETS club takes them beyond the classroom science and helps their analytical reasoning.
