How the term is tested
Built on the Nigerian curriculum, with SAT, Cambridge and WAEC exam styles.
Weekend Assessment
A 30-question test in three sections: WAEC style, Cambridge style and SAT style.
Midterm
A full check-in at the halfway point of the term.
Revision week
A dedicated week to review and lock in everything covered.
Examination
The end-of-term exam, covering everything learned in the term.
Wednesday Reading
A story every term, and reading that asks for more
Each term follows a new story and a different reading style. The help fades as the learner's skill grows.
The Hidden School Mystery
Evidence is highlighted in the passage, teaching what a strong answer rests on.
SAT-style evidence thinkingThe Family Travellers
Questions point to sentence numbers. Learners find the answer without it being marked.
Cambridge-style navigationDear Kunle
No highlights and no numbers. Learners read and answer unaided.
WAEC-style independenceThe Clubroom
Stories, games and books, opened by learning
Finish the day's lessons and the Clubroom opens. Seven games, six activities every week, plus Story Room and Library — all built from the English being learned that week.
