| Greensprings School has announced its annual scholarship examinations for entry into Year 7 and the two-year International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Here at Greensprings, we are consistently redefining education in Africa and we believe that every child deserves a world-class and well-rounded education. Children need a solid foundation to become global citizens, achieve their dreams and contribute immensely to their communities. This scholarship will enable students to develop personal integrity and leadership skills which they can draw from for the rest of their lives. Even more exciting this year is the opportunity for students to study the newly introduced Thinking Skills programme. In partnership with Thinking School International, Greensprings is licensed as the first thinking school in Nigeria, purposefully teaching 21st Century learning skills in ‘thinking environments’ aimed at helping students develop their meta-cognition and growth-mindset ability to the highest levels.

Students are encouraged to look beyond their current accomplishments and strive to achieve greatness, through being consistently courageous to embark on new tasks.
