A school built around the subjects
Ultimate Secondary is a day school in Akute for JSS1 through SS3, taught by subject specialists in the rooms their subjects need.
Junior secondary
JSS1 to JSS3 is a broad curriculum taught by specialists, with one form teacher who stays with the class for all three years. That teacher knows each student well enough to help choose a stream at the end of JSS3.
Senior secondary
From SS1, students study in one of three streams, chosen once and chosen carefully:
- Science — Physics, Chemistry, Biology, with Further Mathematics for those who need it.
- Arts — Literature, Government, History, CRS or IRS, with Yoruba or French.
- Commercial — Financial Accounting, Commerce and Economics.
English, Mathematics and Civic Education run through every stream to SS3.
Laboratories and practicals
Two laboratories, and a technician who prepares them. Every science has two double periods a week, because a practical that has to be packed away at the bell is only a demonstration.
Argued, not recited
The debating society is where the Government syllabus is argued. The commercial stream works with real ledgers and statements. The aim in every subject is the same: understanding that survives the examination hall.
Visit the school
