Elementary
The Elementary Section of Citytop School runs the British Curriculum. The curriculum is child-centred, teacher friendly – and it is used mostly by the best primary schools in Lagos and Nigeria. The British curriculum enables your child to take responsibility for his or her learning by involving in activities such as planning, researching, recording, and interacting with teachers and other students.
The British Curriculum
The British curriculum focuses on developing children’s learning through a structure that is based on learning goals, and these goals include subject goals, personal learning goals, and international learning goals.
Subject goals
Under the subject goals, your child will learn how to develop a deep understanding of subjects such as Mathematics, Language, Science, ICT & Computing, Technology, Geography, Music, Physical Education.
Personal goals
The personal learning goals of the British curriculum will equip your child with the essential 21st-century skills, comprising communication, resilience, adaptability, thoughtfulness, cooperation, respect and morality.
International learning goals
As for the international learning goals of the British curriculum, it will help your child develop a sense of “international mindedness,” which is required to become a global citizen with an ability to succeed anywhere in the world.
We're the best school in Alimosho
As it is in most of the best primary schools in Lagos that use the British curriculum, our Elementary School is made up of Lower Elementary and Upper Elementary.
Our Lower Elementary School
In the Lower Elementary School, which is Year 1 – Year 3, our pupils receive favourable education that enhances their development of core skills in literacy and numeracy. In a case whereby a child is experiencing difficulties in learning, our school offers a learning-support programme, and this programme is one of the reasons parents regard Citytop school one of the best primary schools in Lagos.
Our aim is to make school enjoyable for our pupils; so we incorporate fun into learning and structure our learning environment to make learning easy for our pupils.
Here are some more reasons why parents regard us one of the best primary schools in Lagos and entrust their children in our care:
- We guide and encourage positive behaviour among peers and promote collaboration through group activities.
- We offer them an opportunity to learn a unique form of communication
- We engage our pupils in activities that enable them to develop self-confidence
Our Upper Elementary School
The Upper Elementary School is from Year 4 to Year 6. The lessons taught in these classes build on the Upper Elementary School’s lessons, and the British Curriculum becomes more specialized, with the addition of new knowledge and skill training.
Using the curriculum, our teachers expand on the core literacy and numeracy knowledge and teach our pupils how to use the knowledge to solve problems. Your child will also be exposed to coding and the use of Information Communication Technology, in order to equip him or her with hands-on experience on the latest technology.
Aside from academics, the way we guide our students towards attaining self-discipline and personal organisation is another significant reason our Elementary School is believed to be one of the best primary schools in Alimosho. Once a child joins us in Year 4, we focus on raising the level of behavioural expectations, by guiding the child on how to be responsible.
