The school began on 29th January 2023 with classes from nursery to primary three, starting with an initial enrollment of 32 students. Presently, the school has 120 students. It was established by a team of four dedicated educators and teachers with the goal of providing a promising future for disadvantaged, orphaned, and underprivileged children in the area. The necessity for such a school was pressing to address the educational needs in the region. Significant progress has been made since its inception.
Over the years, we have remained committed to our founding principles of academic excellence, personal growth, and community engagement. We believe that every child has the potential to succeed, and we work tirelessly to create an environment that supports their growth and development in all areas.
Our curriculum is designed to be challenging, engaging, and age-appropriate, and it is delivered by a team of highly qualified and experienced teachers. We place a strong emphasis on literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills, and we use a variety of teaching methods and resources to ensure that every student is able to learn in a way that suits their needs and learning style.
In addition to our academic program, we offer a wide range of extracurricular activities, including music, art, drama, and sports, as well as a range of community service projects. We believe that a well-rounded education is essential for every child, and we strive to provide our students with opportunities to explore their interests, develop their talents, and become active members of their community.

It has three classes, primary one, two and three . We have just managed to establish a temporary structure to ensure that they at least have a place to learn. However this is not condussive for the children and their leaning.
The reason is that they are not sound proof and so learning is heard by the students in the next class and this hinders their teaching and learning as they can not concentrate to their own learning. On top of this, the chairs and tables for the students are not enough as we have only been able to provide a few and they are squashed . The other problem is that we are also disturbed by the rains since when it rains water gets into the classes and so children have to stop their learning as we have to move them to the other place untill it stops raining.
Therefore we will be great ful fro the funds so as to establish a more condussive and safe buildings, the materials to use so as they can learn really well.
We have one van in poor condition, but the kids come from far. Sometimes it breaks down, delaying the kids' arrival at school. With your support, we can obtain new vans or buses to ensure children arrive at school on time.
We are dedicated to ensuring that every child who passes through our doors leaves with the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to succeed in whatever path they choose.
