About Us
I am pleased to have this opportunity to extend a warm welcome to you.
The school was founded in Ibafo in August 2007. The present site was purchased
between 2003 and 2004. The site was designed and constructed by Engineer
Muritala Lawal.
We operate a modern curriculum which places emphasis on the core subjects and
careful monitoring of the children’s progress to ensure academic success in the
school.
A variety of sports, drama and extra curricular activities provide a fulfilling school
life, encouraging self confidence while emphasising personal discipline and
concern
for others.
Our school operates a blend of montessori curriculum and the Nigerian curriculum.
We favour a practical approach to teaching
behaviour and manners. But at the same
time we like to foster a happy, caring family atmosphere where the triangular partnership
of parents, pupils and teachers is encouraged. The result is happy, confident, self
motivated children who always go on to do very well in their future schools.
Walktall International School is a school consistently reaching for high standards
of
academic achievement. We know, however, that providing what children need to
become exceptional adults requires more than helping them gain good academic
results.
Boys and girls entering the school will grow up together in a school which sets both
high academic, behavioural and personal standards in a friendly and happy learning
environment. The School will provide your child with the opportunities to develop
their
all-round potential through a rich and stimulating curriculum combined with a
wide
range of extra-curricular activities leaving you confident, knowing that your
child will
flourish.
Our dedicated and professional staff promote pupil self-confidence, self-assurance
and
self-discipline but take care to couple this with good teaching, continuous
monitoring of
progress and consultation between pupils, teachers and parents.
We believe that
education empowers a child; it provides the necessary knowledge,
concepts, skills and
discipline to equip him/her to make life choices and can
develop a long lasting love for
learning. We also believe that schools should not be
judged solely on the results that
their pupils attain but also in the way in which our
pupils interact with their environment
and develop as good citizens with positive
principles and values. Through effective
communication between children, parents
and staff, we can promote a shared vision
and commitment to learning through
excellence and enjoyment within our local and wider
community.
We look forward to welcoming you to Walktall International School.
