Bricks Academy - Uyo, Nigeria

Our Montessori program begins as early as infancy, progresses to toddler program and then grade school. Our aim at Bricks Academy is to provide your child with a safe, secure, and comfortable environment where they can grow at their own pace.

We cater for babies from 3 months through school – going age. Being not only professionals but parents ourselves, we provide a solid and happy foundation for children’s development, praising every child’s uniqueness and encouraging their individuality in a nurturing and loving environment.

Our staff’s extensive experience and knowledge of childcare ensures that your child is entitled to the same high standard of care and nurture.

Our Pre-school classrooms are bright, warm and inviting. A caring and loving environment where, children develop social skills as they interact with each other. Even the youngest preschooler at Bricks Academy takes care of his/her own child-sized environment. We allow children to develop a meaningful degree of independence and self-discipline. This sets a pattern for a lifetime of good work habits and a sense of responsibility

Our Preschool is divided into 4 classes consisting:

- Head Start (1 year +)
- Pre - Kindergarten (2 years +)
- Kindergarten 1 (3 years +)
- Kindergarten 2 (4 years +)

To facilitate the prepared order of a Montessori classroom, we use Montessori materials as tools to stimulate the child into logical thoughts and discovery. The materials are arranged on low open shelves that are easily accessible and appealing to even the youngest child. The shelves are organized into curriculum areas consisting :
- Practical Life Exercises (everyday living skills)
- Sensorial Exercises
- Mathematics
- Language.

In the early years, lessons are introduced simply and concretely and are reintroduced several times over succeeding years at increasing levels of complexity.

Bricks Academy offers our pupils a world-class education using internationally accepted best practices in each of our classrooms. We offer small classes and a high teacher/pupil ratio. Our classrooms are set up to facilitate student discussion and stimulate collaborative learning. The graders are encouraged to do their own research, collaborate and analyze what they have found and come to their own conclusions.

In an atmosphere in which children learn at their own pace and compete only against themselves, they learn not to be afraid of making mistakes. They quickly find that few things in life come easily, and they can try again without fear of embarrassment.

Our curriculum incorporates the British National Primary Framework and the United States Common Core State Standards. The core subjects include English, mathematics, science, information technology, music, art, physical education and French.
