A statement signed by the Head of the School, Mr. Joe Daly, also said the school will provide improved facilities for swimming, gymnasia, a dining hall, a 500-seat performance area, a medical centre, libraries, and a central administration suite among other facilities.

According to Daly, Abuja World Academy is rooted “in the best of British education within a Nigerian context. Abuja World Academy empowers students with a distinct advantage for success when advancing to the world’s best universities.”

He said “Our mission at Abuja World Academy is to create an exciting, positive, caring, compassionate, and above all safe school environment; fostering inquiry-based learning and instilling ethical values in students to become innovative and capable global leaders. Managed and operated by the United Kingdom OFSTED accredited The Regent School, Abuja World Academy is similarly focused on offering the highest standard of education in an exciting educational environment dedicated to fostering the holistic development of every learner.

“Situated in a cutting-edge facility, Abuja World Academy is committed to setting the highest standard of education in the region. The first intake of students starting September 2024 will be from the pre-playgroup stage through to Year 9. Ultimately the school will accommodate students from early years through to Year 11, with students ranging from 18 months to 17 years old.

“The facilities are set for completion in June 2024 with the commencement of the new academic year in September 2024. The impressive campus has a total land area of three hectares and will include the following:

“Two highly experienced British educators will lead the school. Mrs. Dominique Dyer, the Executive Headteacher has had many years of leadership in schools in the United Kingdom. She joins us with some years of school leadership experience in Nigeria, as Head of Abuja Preparatory School.

“Our Head of School is Mr. Joe Daly whose equally extensive headship experience spans from the UK to Southeast Asia. Together, these dynamic practitioners have extremely high ambitions for our new school and in collaboration with some of the best teachers Nigeria has to offer, will bring the best of British education to Abuja World Academy.

“Abuja World Academy envisions its students as curious, independent learners poised to evolve into innovative and capable global leaders of the future. We will deliver the Cambridge International curriculum, which is meticulously crafted to instill a robust set of ethical values in every student, aligning seamlessly with the core values of the school: Responsibility, Integrity, Curiosity, and Empathy.

“These values serve as guiding principles, shaping the character, behaviour, and decision-making of our students throughout their academic journey and beyond.

“The academy’s goal is to prepare students not only for academic success but also to empower them to make positive contributions to their communities and the world. As we embark on this exhilarating journey, Abuja World Academy invites parents, students, educators, and the community to join us in shaping the future of education. Together, let us create a happy and safe environment where learners thrive academically and develop the skills and qualities needed to make a positive impact in an ever-evolving world,” Daly stated.
