School says achievement brings global recognition to Nigeria
The Director of Caleb Group of Schools, Dr. Ola Adebogun, said the students’ success has brought international recognition to Nigeria.
He said the accomplishment reflects the students’ intelligence and the quality of preparation they received.
Adebogun said the school’s combination of the Nigerian and British curricula supports its goal of producing “accomplished and ambitious young boys and girls of proven integrity” who are prepared to make meaningful contributions to society.
He also said both CBIS Magodo and CBIS Lekki were established to raise confident, happy and well-rounded children while teaching them that intellectual growth, physical development and consideration for others are essential for success.
