Educational Excellence

Nurturing minds, hearts, and souls

At Franciscan Catholic School, we offer comprehensive educational programmes designed to nurture young minds and develop well-rounded individuals ready for the future. Our curriculum integrates modern teaching methods with traditional Catholic values, ensuring your child receives the best possible education.

Our programmes are structured to provide a seamless educational journey from early childhood through primary education. Each stage builds upon the previous one, creating a strong foundation for lifelong learning and character development.

Our dedicated teachers are committed to recognizing and developing each child's unique talents and abilities, fostering a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom.

Early Years Programme

(Ages 1 – 4 years)

Our Early Years Programme is based on the UK's "Early Years Foundation Stage" curriculum, adapted to include Catholic values and teachings. It provides an integrated approach to care and education which is play-based, following the interests of the children.

The framework ensures a consistent approach to care, learning, and development, enabling our educators to plan learning that is appropriate for each child at every stage of their development through a range of engaging activities.

The aim of our Early Years Programme is to help children achieve the five outcomes of the "EVERY CHILD MATTERS" principle while nurturing their spiritual growth and character development in a Catholic environment.

Our Blended Curriculum

The best of multiple educational approaches

At Franciscan Catholic School, we believe that no single curriculum is perfect; each has its strengths and areas for improvement. That's why we provide a unique, comprehensive, integrated, and balanced curriculum that caters to all our children's diverse needs and learning styles.

We run a blended curriculum that ensures the best of the British and Montessori curricula is integrated with the Nigerian curriculum, all within the framework of Catholic education. This approach provides children with a world-class education that is relevant and prepares them for life in a globalized world as Africans and Catholics.

To complement our academic curriculum, we offer a variety of extra-curricular activities such as swimming, ballet, taekwondo, chess, and music. These activities help develop well-rounded individuals with diverse talents and interests.
