If you think that education is expensive, try ignorance. I remember this saying, while I was researching about some top expensive secondary schools in Nigeria, and I came to discover that Grange Secondary School in Lagos is topping the list of expensive secondary schools in Nigeria, and according to findings by Infoguidenigeria.com, Grange Secondary School is the most expensive secondary school in Nigeria, with a tuition fee of about four million, five hundred thousand naira (N4.5 million) per annum.
The Grange Secondary School was founded in 1958 at Lagos, Nigeria. Studies has however, revealed that Grange secondary school is the oldest, and perhaps one of the largest secondary school in Nigeria, meaning that the school was established before Nigeria gained independence, this probably might have explained why Grange secondary school is adopting the British education system to administer quality education. The belief is that, for people, sometimes, the elites to patronize Grange secondary school, insipte of the huge amount of money charged for school fees, could demonstrate the stuff this secondary school is made of, and its commitment to pursue excellence in education in Nigeria.
However, record has it that, Grange secondary school has gotten a track record, I mean proven track record of consistence pursuit of academic excellence, as the school offer a high level qualitative education to its beneficiaries. According to World Atlas, the most expensive schools in the world are the ones who really have values to offer. Grange secondary school gives you reasons why you should patronize the secondary school and entrust your kid’s education on them. According to the school, the reasons are enormous, and some of the reasons are as follows:
1. Excellence result:
Any educational organization that insists on excellence always in return has an impressive result. What will you do, if I may ask, when you have the money, and you hear that students in Grange secondary school, in Lagos are making impressive result, such that can make the students compete favourable with those of their counterparts elsewhere in the world, what will you do with your money? Finding has revealed that students in Grange secondary school, nearly every student in the school have their first choice placement at the foremost ‘A’ level schools world over.
2. Impressive extracurricular programmes:
It is often said that all works without play makes Jack a dull boy. Physical exercise is very profitable to human intellects, particularly, in the school setting, where it offer the young minds the opportunity to be alert and sensitive mentally in order to ensure that they have retentive memories for academic excellence. In view of the fact, the Grange secondary school has provided extensive facilities for extracurricular and co-curricular activities in the school for the students’ academic welfare.
3. Integration of modern technology in learning:
The new technology has made learning and teaching more exciting than ever before, and students have been appreciative of this development because it allowed for easy assimilation of knowledge, and the teachers through the use of modern instructional material, and the incorporation of new technology in teaching has made the students’ learning experience a worthwhile. It is against this backdrop, that the Grange secondary school installed these teaching and learning modern facilities for academic excellence in the campus throughout the entire school with interactive boards in all classrooms.
4. Qualified teachers:
Teachers have widely acclaimed as the education facilitators, who spurred and inspired students in order to bring out the real characters and personalities out of them. No educational institution can succeed and make impact, without the exceptional contribution of well trained qualified teacher, who can understand the different needs of the students, such as emotional needs, psychological needs, mental needs, etc., in order to impart knowledge in a way these different children from different background can assimilate the knowledge at different frequency. In view of this, Grange secondary school has fortified its campus with highly competent and motivated teachers.
5. Special program for special children:
I have said earlier that school children do have special needs, and as well special education needs. Sometimes, these needs are not cognitive or physical, whichever way you see it, needs are needs, and these students’ needs are to be provided maximally in order to justify the huge amount of money paid for their tuition fees. In view of this challenge Grange secondary school has deemed wise to provide facilities and also run special programme for special students who have special needs. It is noteworthy that, this personalized programme that the Grange secondary school has embarked upon for all students of the school, who have special education needs, is the right step in the right direction. You may wish to visit the school for a tour around the school, a trial will convince you.
