About Us

Who We Are

The name Sterling reflects our commitment to the highest standards — excellence, integrity, and value that stand the test of time. At Sterling International Academy, these ideals are more than words; they form the foundation of everything we do. Since our founding in 2015, we have created an environment where academic excellence meets character development, and every learner is empowered to reach their full potential.

Approved by the Federal Ministry of Education, Sterling International Academy is an educational institution offering the Nigerian-British curriculum. Over the years, our pupils have consistently excelled in the National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE).

For our first 10 years, we specialized in Nursery and Primary education, carving a niche and building goodwill through quality learning experiences. In 2025, we expanded to include Junior Secondary School (JSS 1), marking a new chapter in our growth as a learning community where academic achievement goes hand in hand with moral integrity.

Our rich extra-curricular programs help learners build confidence, strengthen public speaking, develop leadership skills, and enhance their learning abilities. Activities include debating, creative writing, journalism, drama, and sports such as karate, badminton, and chess.

We believe in learning beyond the classroom. Educational trips to museums, zoos, historic landmarks, and government institutions broaden our pupils’ perspectives and create lasting memories.

Sterling offers a warm, family-friendly atmosphere cherished by parents, pupils, staff, and friends. To foster friendships and community spirit, we host open days, club days, and other engaging events.

Our pupils have proudly represented us in the National English Tournament (NET), National Mathematics Tournament (NMT), SPEECH Science Spelling Competition, and SPELL Africa International Spelling Competition—where four emerged as state-level winners

About our curriculum

Our Curriculum

At Sterling International Academy, our curriculum blends the strengths of both the Nigerian and British education systems to give learners a solid academic foundation and global perspective. We prioritize not only knowledge acquisition but also critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

Our text books and teaching strategies reflect this blend. Our teachers are trained regularly in order to be able to deliver our curriculum effectively and also keep abreast with the latest developments in the education world.

Lessons are interactive and learner-centered, encouraging curiosity and active participation. Our approach ensures that pupils excel in core subjects like Mathematics, English, and Science while also developing competencies in technology, languages, arts, and social studies.

We integrate extra-curricular activities into the learning process, allowing our pupils to discover and grow their talents while reinforcing classroom learning. This balanced curriculum prepares them to perform excellently in national and international examinations and equips them with skills for lifelong success.

Children are admitted to our school based on age and academic potential. Our placement tests are diagnostic, and we provide professional guidance when an applicant’s academic performance falls short of expectations.

About Our Teaching and Learning Philosophy

Our Teaching and Learning Philosophy

At Sterling International Academy, we believe that every child is unique, with individual strengths, learning styles, and potential waiting to be nurtured. Our teaching is guided by the understanding that learning is most effective when it is engaging, relevant, and learner-centered.

We create a supportive environment where pupils feel confident to ask questions, explore ideas, and take intellectual risks. Lessons are designed to encourage active participation, critical thinking, and problem-solving, ensuring that learners are not just passive recipients of knowledge but active contributors to their own growth.

Our teachers act as facilitators and mentors, guiding pupils to connect classroom learning with real-life applications. By blending structured instruction with creativity, collaboration, and hands-on experiences, we cultivate not only academic excellence but also character, resilience, and a lifelong love for learning.
