EXCELLENCE THROUGH EXPERIENCE

I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but the number of times I succeed, and the number of times I succeed is a direct proportion to the number of times I fail and keep trying.        Excellence can only be achieved through experience. Provided you are not afraid of failure, success is your next door. Righteousness + Hard work + Attitude = Excellence That moment when you lead your children to the promise land and they can't stop seeing you as their hero

Every Child’s Got Talent Surely, I know one may think otherwise but it is not far from the truth that every child has got talent. It is either the genius in the child is known or yet to be discovered. The worst in academic performance in a particular class may be the best in another area far from the immediate environment where the child accidentally found himself. So, that does not mean the child is a failure. Probably, the child is at the wrong place at the right time. However, Great Heights Academy seems to be like a professional painter who for the sake of having a masterpiece keeps all colours even though some are not his favourites. If every colour has a role to play in an excellent art work, therefore every child has a space to fill.  The great institution takes every child with maximal seriousness in the sense that, the search light is beamed on finding the area of strength in every ward so as to amplify it to a...

                      Science Club Science club in Great Heights Academy with the slogan ‘The Young Inventors’ has gone beyond mere theory as it is in most schools. Here, it is in its pragmatic phase where pupils make things rather than just sit back and watch them unfold. Particularly in this year, there seems to be a very big U- turn from the old ways to the 21 st century way of clubbing. You know, there is nothing more intriguing than seeing children creating functional stuffs out of simple available materials as such giving a green light which indicates that in the nearest future, our country -Nigeria would be capable of competing among other developed nations in the field of technology. In fact, as far as science club is concerned, we have recorded a number of noticeable successes in this year and we hope to continue in that line as not even the sky will be our limit insha Allah . Our creative and gifted hands a...

The Little But Most Needed Attention Every Child Craves For After long time experience of being a classroom teacher in both public and private schools, as a curious and a concerned individual about the pupils’ success or failure,I tried to find out what possibly made some set of pupils unbeatable and unchallenged as they remain the highest achievers in the classroom. Through critical observation and ceaseless daily interaction with all cadres of pupils on the basis of academic success say the fliers, runners, walkers and the crawlers; I was able to establish the fact that parents, in number of ways, play significant role in the achievement of their wards.As they say a dwarf who brags at least has a shoulder of a giant to lean on. In Great Heights Academy , the total mark obtainable in each subject is 100. However, the mark is a combination of 40 marks of Continuous Assessment Tests and 60 marks of Exam respectively. The former has four sub units and each carries 10 marks. This ...

Who Is An Educated Child? Nowadays, people mistake the knowledge of ABC and 123 for what education is all about. It is a very wrong notion and as such most contemporary schools emphasize more on knowledge while all other aspects of education like social behavioral patterns and values such as respect, honesty, sharing, taking turn, culture and lots more are paid less attention or completely neglected. On this ground, despite all odds, Great Heights Academy singled out of the manifolds with a paradigm shift. Unlike other schools, here every aspect of education carry’s equal weight.

Hence, the question ‘who is an educated child?’  According to Wikipedia, education in its general sense is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, values, beliefs and norms of a group of people ar...
