AFRICA Brands Review, an integrated marketing service company, has named Loral International Schools (LIS), Lagos & Osun States, as winner of “2017 Africa Top Schools Award (Platinum Category), as one of the top 10 schools in the country, and one of the best international schools in Africa.
The award, it was disclosed, stems from among other things, the school’s ratings in the 2017 West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results.
To arrive at this, the firm said it compared how secondary schools across the country performed, and thereafter rated the top 1, 000 schools. It was after this that it bestowed the award in May 2017 on LIS.
The events brochure of the Africa Top 1, 000 School Award is to be distributed to embassies of various Africa countries and libraries of institutions of higher learning and blue chip companies. Free copies are to be sent to all participating schools on the continent.
“We didn’t apply for any award, they just wrote us a letter, and initially we were being skeptical, until they showed us results and proofs. So, we agreed with them at least it was from an official source. We emerged one of the best international schools in Africa, but before qualifying for this, we first qualified as one of the top 10 schools in Nigeria, where we were rated seventh. Being one of the top 10 schools amongst in the midst of about 11, 000 schools that write WASSCE, adds value to our certificates.”
Representing the Principal of the school, Amadi Ogbonnaya, who expressed elation at being “recognised as one of the top 10 schools in Nigeria,” added that this reminds us of our position and how academically successful we are. We need to let everyone know that we do a lot in LIS, and this stands us out. So, if you want sustained academics and all round education, Loral International School has it.”
