           Delivering: Learning with

           Purpose at Abuja Prep





           One of the greatest purposes of education is
           to connect what children learn in the
           classroom to the wider world around them.
           When learning feels real, relevant, and
           rooted in life, it becomes much more than

           a series of lessons — it becomes a pathway
           to understanding, curiosity, and growth. At
           Abuja Preparatory School, we are proud that         Real-world learning is about helping
           this reality is lived out every day across our      children see why they are learning
           classrooms, playgrounds, and wider                  something. Since joining the school in
           community.                                          September, I have seen children measuring                            At Abuja Prep, these principles come alive in countless ways — from our
                                                               ingredients for a cooking activity in maths,                         enterprising Science Fair projects and vibrant performances that showcase creative
