It might only be the first month of the first term, but it’s never too early to start thinking about university and college applications! To get the ball rolling, we hosted a University Fair on our Eko Atlantic campus last week, welcoming representatives from a range of universities and colleges who took the time to speak with our students about their options, future prospects, and what makes their programmes unique. It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to ask questions, explore different pathways and start thinking more intentionally about the next steps in their educational journey. A big thank you to all the university representatives who joined us and helped make the day such a valuable experience for our students. We look forward to continuing to support them as they explore the many possibilities ahead! #RugbySchoolNigeria #UniversityFair #HigherEducation #BritishCurriculum

Our students have a way with words, and this was certainly showcased at our first Spelling Bee of the school year!
