ADGS Academics

On any given day, a number of computers may be in use at our school. These include desktops, laptops and hand-held computers. We have a broadband internet connection, and a broad range of specialized peripherals and software installations. As part of the computer science subject related activities, students are encouraged to be aware of components that make up the school IT systems, and have been undergoing training in coding. We look forward to the day our future alumni would be at the forefront of component design manufactured in Nigeria to satisfy local and export led demand.

We have adequately equipped Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) laboratory for students to carry out different science experiments to improve their knowledge and skills.

To achieve a core part of the school’s mission, sport activities are made integral.  Students are given the opportunity to exhibit their prowess through participation in individual or group completion. Adequate sporting facilities and training are available for football, Rugby, Cricket, Tennis and various track and field sports. The school has participated in so many sport competitions at both state national level. We are active and leading participant in competitions like GTB Master Cup, Inter Collegiate Games, and many other competitions in Nigeria.

They enjoy and appreciate many opportunities to take responsibility within the school community and contribute to its future development. By the time they leave us to take up their places at leading universities in this country and overseas, they are confident, articulate and independent. They are capable of thinking for themselves and are able to demonstrate a critical awareness of the world outside that which they are about to enter. They have a clear set of moral values and a sense of their own worth whilst being appreciative of that of others. They are the leading citizens of the future and are well prepared and keen to take on this role and all that it involves.

Individual achievement lies at the heart of our wide-ranging curriculum. We offer a balanced and varied range of subjects to ensure that each student’s potential is discovered and developed to the highest level. Students are given the opportunity to learn in a wide range of contexts, through problem solving, research, collaborative work and as well as practical tasks. Excellence underpins every aspect of school life and great emphasis is placed on strong subject teaching. The success of this ethos is demonstrated by our improving pass rates at junior secondary school (JSS) year 3 and senior secondary (SSS) year 3 results.
