About the school
Three decades of educating young Nigerians in Lekki.
Kingsbridge Academy is an independent, co-educational day and boarding secondary school founded in 1994. We currently educate 1,056 students across 24 classes.
Our mission
To educate young people who think clearly, act honourably and serve willingly.
We keep classes small, we publish what we teach, and we hold ourselves to the results we promise. Our teachers are subject specialists, most of them with us for a decade or more, and every family has a direct line to a named form teacher.
Our values
Knowledge, Character, Service
Knowledge
We teach for understanding, not recall. Every department publishes a scheme of work and every lesson has a stated objective.
Character
House membership, service weeks and a named form teacher for every child. Conduct is reported alongside results.
Service
Each senior class completes a community project each session, from literacy tutoring to clean-water advocacy.
