Rooted in international standards, personalized learning, and dynamic science education.
Berkley Academy was established in September 2008, by a group of American Certified Educators led by Dr. Maria Onyia, with the mission of providing an international standard, student-centered, small learning community for students. Berkley opened with three students and fifteen staff at 36, Salaudeen Akano Street, Ogudu GRA, Lagos.
The Berkley Inquiry Curriculum incorporates the Nigerian and International Elementary standards, as well as Berkley Life Skills, to equip children for global leadership. Our Science Magnet program focuses on higher-level questioning, critical thinking, and real-world problem solving.
"To become a world class academy with a reputation for providing quintessential services that serve as the hallmark of entrepreneurial, leadership and academic excellence."
Moreover, we teach ethics, morals and citizenship. The result is a total child, prepared to become a life-long independent learner, a pacesetter in the global arena, an entrepreneur, and a successful individual. Watch your child transform positively beyond your imagination.
At Berkley, we are certified to work with gifted students, those performing at grade level, and struggling students. Therefore, we envision great expectations, enhance positive contributions, build on students' strengths, and guide them towards beneficial decisions.
