MISSION:

A coeducational institution that runs its programmes, using both the British and Nigerian curricula. The school prides of groundbreaking academic and cocurricular achievements. Landmark is a student-centred college. All academic and cocurricular activities are designed to cater for the educational needs of every student.

ACADEMIC

One thing is certain about Landmark College: it operates on the level of international standards. Quality teaching at this great school is a priority. How? Apart from the fact that qualified, experienced and dedicated teachers are tasked with the teaching of all subjects, the classrooms are equipped with learning-enhancing facilities that facilitate understanding and retention.

Student’s project

It is a verifiable fact that no teacher teaches in abstract because each classroom is equipped with a projector. This teaching aid in each classroom does not just serve a decorative purpose. It makes teaching and learning fun and exciting.

Students learn fast because they see what they learn. They are exposed to things around them and those afar are brought closer to them.Besides, both the teachers and students enjoy uninterrupted internet services, making researches easily and conveniently conducted. Students leverage this to learn more about any concepts introduced to them in the school.

Students of this school have recorded excellent academic performance in national examinations: NECO and WAEC and the following foreign examinations: IGCSE, Cambridge Checkpoint and SAT.

CO-CURRICULAR

It is strongly believed that every child can learn, differently. And Landmark College never disconnects from this reality. The school is committed to the promise that every academic challenge confronting any students will be tackled and conquered.

To achieve this, FREE remedial classes are organised to tackle the academic weakness(es) of a student.

In this school, opportunities are also open for every child to develop their innate talent through the array of activities organised for them. Some students are athletically endowed; some are musically endowed, some are blessed with creativity skill, some show natural interest in culinary activities. As a school, individual student’s interest, skill and talent are identified and nurtured into fruition.

To cater for all these, cocurricular activities that satisfy the curiosity of every child are introduced in the school, and all activities are channelled into the students’ interests, skills and talents.

BOARDING

For busy parents, the comfort in the school hostel has made it a habitable home for the children. The school boarding is well furnished with facilities.

Boarders are adequately taken care of. They feel at home, courtesy of the parental care they receive from the house parents. All the students are treated to sumptuous, healthy and balanced diets. They engage in cocurricular, athletic and religious activities

Academic work never suffers in the hostel. Apart from the free after-school remedial classes organised to take care of some weaknesses, boarders are assisted with their assignments and guided with any school subjects when the need arises. The spiritual upbringing of our students is very essential to us. Religious activities are conducted at the appropriate time.

MORALITY
