Management of Peculiar British School, a leading private school in Abuja, has been commended for combining quality academic instruction with practical entrepreneurial skills that prepare learners for life beyond the classroom.
An Abuja-based information technology expert, Mr. Oyigu Elijah, gave the commendation on Saturday during the graduation ceremony of his son, Zoe Omonu Oyigu and his daughter , Oyigu Omojima Zuriel, held at the school’s premises in Abuja.
He described the institution as a model of educational excellence, noting that it has successfully integrated entrepreneurship and moral development into its academic curriculum.
Mr. Oyigu said the school’s approach reflects a broader understanding of education by developing the intellectual, practical, and moral capacities of every learner.
“When education develops the mind, equips the hands with practical skills, and builds sound character, children become prepared not only for examinations but also for life. Peculiar British School has demonstrated that this balanced approach can produce confident and responsible young people,” he said.
He stated that the standard of teaching, discipline, and practical exposure provided by the school has equipped graduating pupils with the confidence and competence to excel in any academic environment within and outside Nigeria.
“The academic foundation laid by the school has prepared these pupils to compete favourably wherever they may continue their education. They have received the knowledge, discipline, and confidence required to succeed,” he added.
According to him, the quality of education offered at Peculiar British Academy has given parents confidence that their children are prepared for the next phase of their educational journey.
“As parents, we are proud to see our children graduate with sound academic knowledge, good values, and practical skills. That gives us confidence in the future they are stepping into,” he noted.
He also praised the commitment of the school’s management and teachers to raising well-rounded children through consistent academic excellence, sound character formation, and practical life skills.
“The dedication of the teachers and management deserves recognition. Their efforts have produced pupils who are disciplined, creative, and ready to make meaningful contributions to society,” he said.
One of the highlights of the graduation ceremony was the exhibition of entrepreneurial projects by the pupils.
“The practical exhibitions were remarkable because they showed that the children have begun to develop useful skills that can inspire creativity, self-confidence, and innovation from an early age,” he said.
Mr. Oyigu said the practical demonstrations showed that the school is preparing learners to become creators of opportunities rather than seekers of opportunities.
“The future belongs to young people who can think creatively and solve problems. Introducing entrepreneurial and technology-based learning at this stage gives these children a strong advantage,” he stated.
He further encouraged parents and education stakeholders to support schools that promote innovation, entrepreneurship, and character development alongside academic achievement.
“Education should continue to evolve to meet the demands of today’s world. Schools that combine academic excellence with innovation and character development are helping to shape the next generation of leaders and problem-solvers,” he said.
Mr. Oyigu congratulated his son, Zoe Omonu Oyigu, his daughter, Oyigu Omojima Zuriel and all members of the graduating class on attaining the important milestone. He encouraged them to remain diligent, disciplined, and committed to excellence as they begin the next stage of their education.
He expressed confidence that the values, knowledge, and practical skills they acquired at Peculiar British Academy would serve as a strong foundation for future success and wished them greater achievements in the years ahead.
