Our doors were opened 1st August, 2022 for our first Summer School and 5th of September 2022 for the start of our first session. What an amazing experience it has been planning and putting together our curriculum, resources and facilities to ensure we start learners on an exciting educational journey. Olivia Ryan School is a Cambridge Associate Nursery and Primary School that seeks to stimulate early learning and childcare experience to promote each child’s socio-emotional, physical and cognitive development. We combine Cambridge international curriculum and Montessori/EYFS methodology in teaching and learning to help our students develop informed curiosity and a lasting passion for learning. These curriculum are rigorously followed and the delivery of the lessons in Olivia Ryan are equivalent to in the UK and around the world. We also combine a good understanding of Nigerian history and culture to give the children a good knowledge of the country. We value not only academic success but skills development in art, music, sports within a safe and conducive environment. At Olivia Ryan School, everyone – learners, teachers and parents play important role in developing the whole child to become an independent thinker, life-long learner and high personal standards for life. We start from the age of 3 months in our Prince & Princess Palace to age 11 in year 6. We provide support with entrance exams and taster sessions to ensure a smooth transition to a range of the top secondary schools in the UK and globally. Also, as part of our goal to achieve excellence, Olivia Ryan children will be prepared and entered for global challenges and competitions in Math, English, Science, Writing and Technology. At Olivia Ryan, we are committed to continuous training and improvement. Since we started, we have embraced a training philosophy where all members of staff regularly take part in mandatory and recommended trainings, to ensure that they are prepared to keep providing the best for every child in our school. We are an inclusive school where we celebrate the individuality and uniqueness of each child. We have deliberately created a playful, nurturing and caring culture where all children feel safe and loved. Staff enjoy the community feel here at Olivia Ryan and this has a direct impact on their relationship with the children. Our children are visibly happy children! Music and foreign languages are imperative at our school and we have provided for them. We also have a collection of extracurricular activities led by respectable specialists that help the children identify and develop their talents and skills. We hope this website will answer some of your questions and provide useful information, helping to make your child’s admission to our school a happy experience.
