Lourdes Academy has come out from the ashes of Hillcrest Annex and Hillcrest High School that was jointly owned till 2006. In terms of operations, our institution started in 1997 & 1998 respectively. The new nomenclature was officially pronounced by the then Cross River State Deputy Governor, Barrister Efiok Cobham on the 14th day of February, 2014. Lourdes Academy is a private model school of excellence in all spheres of education. Suitably located within a genuinely friendly and caring Ekorinim Community, away from the urban center, to enable the full concentration of staff, students and pupils without the undesirable distraction of Nigerian cities. A school spacious enough to allow easy drop off and pick up of children conveniently, rather than being faced with the security risk of parking by the roadside. The aim is to provide quality education to nourish the individual ability and encourage personal development in terms of academic success, moral, stability, imaginative alertness, and physical fitness. Lourdes Academy with mission statement “ACTUALIZING A CHILD’S POTENTIAL”, is rich in content and general management with highly experienced and qualified professional teachers under the leadership of well experienced personnel in their different professions, that welcome you on arrival. The Managing Director offers 100% Tuition free for students who maintain 90% average and above as cumulative every session and 50% tuition free for students with average of 85% and above. The facilities for the school to operate effectively as designed include standard Classrooms to hold 20 children, a School Hall, Specialist interlinked Science Laboratories, Computer Suites, Standard Library, Comfortable Hostels, Standard Worship Center, Sic Bay, Tuc-shop/Canteen, School Kitchen and a Bakery, etc. Feel free to take an exciting tour of our facilities any time.
