Your child’s journey of discovery, questioning, experimentation, and development begins from the moment they enter the world. Once you have made Canton Hill Academy your school of choice, we will ensure that your child thrives academically, personally, morally, and socially. We believe that when it comes to learning, there’s nothing more motivating for young children than success and the celebration of success.
Achievement and recognition build confidence and self-belief, which in turn encourages perseverance and determination. It’s a virtuous circle that really fosters a love of learning and is central to our teaching approach.
We look forward to welcoming your children to Canton Hill Academy and we pledge not to betray the trust you would repose in us by entrusting your child’s education into our care, but to meet all your expectations and more.”

Admissions are open to our various classes: – Early Years (Pre-school, Nursery and Reception), Lower Primary (Key Stage 1), Upper Primary (Key Stage 2), Lower Secondary (Key Stage 3).
Our aim is that every child that comes through the door is not only treated as special but feels special. Our individual child-centered approach encourages our children to excel in all areas- Academically, socially, physically, emotionally, and morally. Our experienced, dedicated teachers consistently set targets for every child.Our structured program delivers the perfect mixture of care and learning helps children to reach their fullest potential.
As our children come from diverse cultural backgrounds, we try to reflect this in our curriculum. We provide the best elements of International Education within a traditional Nigerian framework deeply rooted in global education practices. We prepare young people for the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences of adulthood. We offer a holistic, broad, stimulating, and balanced curriculum (Nigerian, and British) that enables children to develop creativity, critical thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and independence. The decision to bring your child to school should have benefits for all concerned.

‘THE PRIMAS’- First among Equals
Our faculty is comprised of 21st Century teachers and administrators who are dedicated and committed to children. They are well- educated in child development, they understand and embrace the value of early education.
They are responsive, receptive, and aware of the needs of early learners, and are eager to cooperate with parents to promote each child’s optimal growth and development.
Our approach of ‘learning through play’ is designated to help children achieve their potential and increase their confidence through a wide variety of experiences. We provide opportunities for personal and social development, from speaking and listening, encouraging goal making, mathematics, improve digital skills, expanding the children’s knowledge and understanding of the world; encouraging them to explore their creativity through music and art; frequent French classes.
Outdoors, the children can learn about gardening at the flowerbed, or make use of the climbing equipment, which is on a soft surface. They play safely and happily in their own area. Whatever the activity, we are constantly interacting with the children to ensure they are able to gain maximum benefit. Sand, water, play dough, puzzles, building blocks, shape sorters, and construction of bricks help the children to develop the concepts of form, shape, size, and textures so that they can learn as they play
Children learn more in the first five (5) years of their lives than at any other time – and they do this simply by playing. Our primary aim is to work in partnership with parents to develop happy and confident children who are interested in everything they see and hear thus contributing to enquiring minds.
STEAM BASED LEARNING
STEAM is an educational discipline that aims to spark an interest and lifelong love of the arts and sciences in children from an early age. Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics are similar fields of study which involve creative processes for inquiry and investigation. Teaching relevant, in-demand skills that will prepare students to become innovators in an ever-evolving world is paramount, not only for the future of the students themselves but for the future of the country.
SCIENCES
Pupils develop a scientific curiosity about their environment through hands-on activities. The activities include the scientific processes of observation, inference, classification, measurement, prediction, communication, and space/time relationships. CANTON HILL ACADEMY’s Science department provides effective tools for real life explorations.
MATHEMATICS
Particular emphasis is placed on individual learning needs as the pupils develop an understanding of Math “all around them.” Concepts develop through the use of concrete manipulative and “mental math.” Technology provides important tools for the development of graphing, measurement, and computational skills. Primary school students see Math as exciting, valuable, and conquerable.
Happy New Month, February 2025!
Dear Parents, Students, and Staff of Canton Hills Academy, Welcome to the beautiful month of February 2025! 
We are grateful for the journey so far and excited about the new opportunities that this month will bring. May February be…
Equipped for excellence!
Our modern science laboratory provides the perfect environment for exploration, discovery, and innovation. Inspiring young minds to explore the beauty of science
Engaged minds, busy hands!
Our Early Years learners explored counting, sorting, and sensory skills with fun, hands-on activities. Engaging young minds in creative ways fosters curiosity, problem-solving, and foundational math concepts. This also makes learning fun and memorable.
SPACIOUS AND WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT
Children from 4 months to 14 years old play and learn in spacious, brightly decorated rooms, with colourful wall displays of the children’s work and photos of their activities. We also display activity planners, curriculum information and menus to keep parents fully informed about their child’s experience at Canton Hill Academy.
