THE ACADEMIC PROGRAMME
Our first priority in the nursery classes is to provide a prepared environment combined with a sense of order and security. Once children feel ‘at home’ in the classroom situation and also understand acceptable behavior, the process of acquiring necessary skills and concepts can begin. By the end of their years in the nursery school, they would have learnt to read. They would be able to recognize and spell common words and read them in sentences and use books for enjoyment and reference. A good understanding of numbers and shapes would have been developed too. They will have learnt songs and listened to stories, often acting out simpler versions.
HOMEWORK
Children in the nursery are given homework, and it is expected that parents will supervise their homework and sign off in the communication book.

THE PRIMARY CURRICULUM
In line with our vision of providing world- class education, the Fruitful Ville School offers an enriched, school – developed curriculum. Our curriculum is a rich and unique blend of the best from the British curriculum and the Nigerian curriculum. The curriculum with a wide scope of learning includes subjects not presently included in the Nigerian curriculum and adding to the content and context of existing subjects. We have identified learning outcomes at each stage of development and use up-to-date teaching methodologies, quality textbooks, materials and resources.
Our main pride is the ease with which our children cope and are able to stand out in other schools both within and outside the country. Children are encouraged to pay attention in the class and participate actively in lessons.
