In Nigeria, there has been an influx of private secondary schools, springing up daily with all kinds of packages; thereby making it more difficult for parents to pick a school of choice for their child.
At the “Get to Know Us” 2018 event, the methods of teaching and learning will be shared with prospective parents and some of them will get a chance to register their children for our Shadow Day (a full day experience on campus).
If your child qualifies for the Shadow Day, he/she will be invited to spend a full school day at Greensprings School at a later date. He/she will take part in the classroom and field work for the day. At the end of the shadow day, you and your child will be able to determine if Greensprings is the appropriate school for your child.
