Our JSS curriculum employs a comprehensive scheme that delivers clear milestones of attainment for each age group. We provide a genuinely broad-based educational framework where foundational knowledge and skills are systematically built. The curriculum ensures that students progress through well-defined learning stages, with each year building upon previous achievements to create a solid academic foundation for senior secondary education.

Assessment is an important part of Basil’s ethos of education. Pupils are tracked from when they enter the school through testing, using our teaching, evaluating, analysis and management (TEAM) method. During their Primary school years, pupils are tested, evaluated and analysed on an annual basis with regular assessment, both formal and informal, taking place throughout the year. These tests help us identify any problem areas pupils have and where improvements can be made. The assessments are feedback to parents at Parent/ Teachers evening and termly reports. Children who fall below expected levels of attainment are automatically given extra support with lessons after school hours.

Interactive whiteboards and digital learning tools enhance our JSS teaching methodology. Traditional subjects like English, Mathematics, and Science are enriched through multimedia presentations, interactive exercises, and visual demonstrations. This technology-enhanced approach increases student engagement, facilitates better understanding of complex concepts, and prepares students for digital literacy in the modern world.

Our curriculum allows for differentiated learning. Children are grouped within each class according to their individual needs. We take into account the aptitude as well as the age of the individual child in order to make learning meaningful.

Communication between home and school is critical to the success of a child at school. We encourage all parents to become involved in their child’s progress through school. We regularly hold Parents’ Evenings, Parents Forum, workshops and assemblies so that each parent can join in the family atmosphere of the school. We also have an open-door policy to ensure that parents forge strong links with the school. Updates, newsletters and letters are sent via email, WhatsApp and text.

Basil code of behaviour is ensured from pre-school. We aim for self-discipline and consideration for others. There are clear structured guidelines on behaviour. We offer Moral instruction and etiquette classes. From the early years, pupils are taught an appreciation of good manners and they acquire behavioural and social skills as they progress in the different levels. Minor and major offences are punished according to the stipulated code of discipline by the school with the child being shown and guided to understand why his or her actions were wrong and why a punishment may be necessary. Basil adopts a therapeutic approach to behaviour management – ‘All behaviour is a form of communication’. So where behavioural standards fall short, we take time to understand and work with the child.

We create opportunities for students to take their studies beyond the classrooms. All classes undertake educational visits from time to time, within and outside the country, to consolidate lessons taught.

We aim to provide a learning environment that is happy, secure and welcoming. Where each child feels valued and loved. We have student welfare officials who listen to children’s worries and solve them before they become problems. Parents are also encouraged to discuss their worries with pupil’s teacher or head of pastoral and management.

Well-structured Timetable that ensures students have an active and enjoyable learning experience in a disciplined environment.

Throughout the primary school and college years, students are given positions of responsibility and are taught to be more self-reliant. Students vote for their own class captains, House captains, prefects and enjoy academic and sporting competitions between the four school houses and other schools.

Our SSS program includes comprehensive career guidance to help students make informed decisions about their academic streams and future careers. Professional counselors work with students to identify their strengths, interests, and career aspirations, guiding them in selecting appropriate subject combinations and preparing for university entrance examinations.

We implement rigorous preparation programs for WAEC and NECO examinations. Students undergo regular mock examinations, intensive revision sessions, and targeted support in challenging subject areas. Our proven track record of 100% pass rates demonstrates the effectiveness of our examination preparation strategies and the dedication of our teaching staff.

Beyond secondary school examinations, we prepare students for university admission processes including JAMB/UTME preparation, personal statement writing, and interview skills. Our enrichment programs expose students to university-level thinking and research skills, ensuring they transition smoothly to higher education.

SSS students are given significant leadership opportunities through the prefect system, house captain roles, and student council positions. These experiences develop essential skills in responsibility, decision-making, public speaking, and team management that prepare them for leadership roles in university and beyond.
