KEY academy has been shortlisted for the World’s Best School Prize in Innovation - the first ever recognition of its kind for a school in Nigeria and West Africa! 🇳🇬🌍. We’re proud to represent what’s possible when real-world learning, purpose, and innovation come together in

When it was time to present, they did so with clarity, confidence, and real ownership - engaging parents in thoughtful conversations about the purpose behind their work and the change they hope to see. As part of our ongoing fundraising efforts, the fair also featured a ticketed

Education isn’t just about what children know - it’s about what they can do with what they know. That’s why we do project-based learning. #21stCenturySkills #KEYacademy.

5/ Education in Nigeria can’t afford to be passive. Our world is complex. Our students must be prepared to think, solve, build, and lead. That’s why we believe in PBL. That’s why KEY academy exists. #ProjectBasedLearning #EducationReform #KEYacademy.

4/ With PBL, literacy and numeracy aren’t sidelined - they’re embedded. Students write proposals, calculate budgets, analyse data, and present ideas. It’s real learning, not just rehearsal.

3/ Our students don’t learn about Lagos in a textbook - they explore it. They don’t read about pollution - they design solutions for Makoko. They don’t study empathy - they practise it in community projects.

2/ PBL connects learning to real life. Students don’t just memorise, they investigate problems, design solutions, and reflect. It builds confidence, curiosity, and critical thinking.

Why project-based learning (PBL) works. 1/ Conventional teaching asks students to remember. Project-based learning asks them to do. At KEY academy, we’ve seen how powerful that difference can be. Here’s why PBL works - especially in Nigeria. 🧵.

This term’s much-anticipated chess tournament was a celebration of strategy, skill, and sportsmanship. Over three intense rounds (plus a bonus tiebreaker!), our students demonstrated the results of weeks of practice - from critical thinking to patience and resilience. Parents

We believe learning isn’t about mastering a fixed set of facts - it’s about nurturing curiosity, asking questions, and staying open to new discoveries. The goal is for our students to keep exploring, reflecting, and growing.

If education only prepares students for exams, we’ve failed them. Real learning happens when students solve problems, ask better questions, and find meaning in what they do. That’s the future. That’s the standard. #EducationReform #KEYacademy #LearningByDoing.
