Whiteoak School Lagos
The oak tree is renowned for its great height, age and strength. It is a symbol of endurance. The oak tree though slow at first to produce fruit as it establishes its roots, once starts it produces acorns for thousands of years. Our aim is to firmly ground our children ‘laying strong foundations so that they will produce long-lasting fruits. We aim to help children develop creativity, problem-solving skills and the ability to be resourceful. Through attending Whiteoak, they will become successful learners who have enquiring minds, think for themselves, reason, question and evaluate. In order to achieve this, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage in Acorns, Busybees, Preschool and Reception.
At Whiteoak, we implement up to date strategies to engage and challenge staff to ensure we develop children’s physical, intellectual, emotional and social well-being, thus guaranteeing the best outcomes, for the children placed in our care. Whiteoak has high expectation of her staff as their development directly affects outcomes, therefore routine up to date training is mandatory at Whiteoak. We provide a high-quality blended curriculum consisting of approved Nigerian & United Kingdom curriculum delivered in a world-class learning environment.
