City of Knowledge Academy

The school is guided by the ethical pillars of Culture, Character, and Confidence, aiming to nurture global leaders of proven character. It emphasizes a holistic approach to development, focusing on critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. The institution seeks to inspire students to be ambitious, resilient, and innovative thinkers who take charge of their own learning.

The school offers a blended curriculum combining the Nigerian Curriculum and the National Curriculum of England. Students prepare for several examinations, including the Lower Secondary Cambridge Checkpoint, the Basic Education Certificate Examination (NECO), the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), the Senior School Certificate Examination (NECO), and the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASCE). The academic programme covers a broad range of subjects across languages, sciences, mathematics, vocational studies, humanities, creative arts, and ICT.

The school maintains a dedicated Learning Support Unit designed to provide effective academic monitoring for students when needed. Additionally, the school prioritizes social and emotional learning (SEL), which is delivered through Physical, Social, and Health Education (PSHE) classes to support student well-being and life skills development.

The school admits students into Years 7 through 11, with primary entry typically occurring at the start of the academic year in September. The selection process involves a diagnostic entrance examination, a review of the student's previous school report, and an interview with the parent or guardian. While the school maintains strict age-related criteria, the Head of School may exercise discretion regarding admission based on a candidate's maturity and individual circumstances.

The campus features air-conditioned classrooms equipped with interactive boards and a technology-driven infrastructure. Specialized facilities include science laboratories for physics, chemistry, and biology, a design and technology laboratory, an art and design studio, a music studio, an ICT laboratory, and a home economics room. The school also provides a well-equipped library, a medical center, and boarding houses.

Students participate in a wide range of activities, including a variety of skills clubs, creative and dramatic arts, and music, with an emphasis on both individual and collaborative performance. The sports programme features football, athletics, volleyball, handball, swimming, basketball, taekwondo, tennis, and golf. Additionally, the school organizes enrichment trips and hosts a weekly 'Fun Fact Friday' forum to encourage digital creativity and public speaking.
