Corona Secondary School – An Academic Safe Haven

Corona Secondary School is a residential, co-educational school with the aim to create well-rounded students who are proudly Nigerian, able to express themselves and their culture in any environment either locally or internationally. The school, located at Yenagoa Road, Agbara Estate provides our students with a peaceful and natural environment where they can study and thrive free from the stress of city life. This environment provides ample space for sports; students have access to football, volleyball, basketball, tennis, athletics and badminton as well as more unusual sports such as Taekwondo.

Academic Diversity and Excellence

Corona Secondary School is
the only school accredited by NEASC and runs the ACCA Programme in Nigeria, and the second school for the study of
German Language in partnership with the Goethe Institute. The school offers the
Nigerian/British Curriculum, which
prepares students for SSCE, IGCSE, UTME, SAT, IELTS, ACCA, DELF, BECE and CHECKPOINT.

It runs a student enterprise – Keke Goods – that has won a global business award. Other awards the school has amassed include

Best in IGCSE English
as a second language 2009
Best in IGCSE
CRS 2010
Best Helmbridge

The school is very engaged in a rich mix
of after-school activities at different times within the school year. This
variety means that the students are positively engaged while honing their
organizational, social, communicative and practical problem-solving skills. The
belief that holistic education goes beyond academic exercises has brought about
the UN Day, Career Day, Cultural Day and Mufti Day, as well as the Voice and
the Corona Ultimate Man competitions held in the school.
