Each stage builds
on the last.
Nothing is taught in isolation. The foundation we lay in the earliest years is the same one a student stands on when they sit their final papers.
Where curiosity
comes first.
The Foundation Stage at Olives Academy is built on a simple belief: children learn best when they feel safe, seen, and genuinely excited. We do not rush literacy or numeracy. We build the love of learning that makes everything else possible.
Through structured play, storytelling, music, movement, and guided discovery, children in our Foundation Stage develop the emotional intelligence, early literacy, and numerical awareness they will carry through every stage of school.
Learning to think,
not just to answer.
Primary School at Olives Academy is where academic discipline begins — but where we never lose the joy of discovery. Students develop strong foundations in English, Mathematics, Science, and the Humanities, all taught by subject specialists from Year 4 onward.
We also begin to build character explicitly at this stage: through weekly assemblies, reading programmes, peer mentorship, and the introduction of our House System, which runs through to Senior Secondary.
Discovering who
they really are.
Junior Secondary is a time of breadth. Students encounter a full range of disciplines — science, arts, technology, social studies, languages — and begin to understand where their strengths and passions lie. We take this seriously. The discoveries made in JSS shape the choices students make in Senior Secondary.
Co-curricular activities expand significantly at this stage. Students join clubs, participate in interschool competitions, and take on their first leadership responsibilities within the school community.
Built for the
world ahead.
Senior Secondary is where everything comes together. Students choose their track — Sciences, Arts, or Commercial — and we pursue excellence in each with equal intensity. Our SS3 students are among the best-prepared candidates for WAEC and NECO in the state, and we make no apology for that ambition.
But results are only part of the story. By the time a student completes SS3 at Olives Academy, they will have led, served, debated, created, competed, and grown in ways that no examination can fully capture — but that every university and employer will recognise.
