Quality and Academic Excellence

The internal quality control committees of Chrisland College, Idimu and Chrisland High School, V.G.C. are responsible for the process of self-evaluation in the two schools.
The Director of Studies in co-operation with the Quality Control Unit of Chrisland Educational Organization oversees the teaching and learning programs and activities to ensure quality and academic excellence. This team of highly qualified experienced educationists evaluates the knowledge level, skills, attitudes and values that students have acquired. Particular attention is paid to the competence and performance that students have attained in communication skills, the ability to work in groups and to make responsible decisions.

In the process of quality control and assurance, the following functional areas are being assessed:

1. Basic functionality of the school
2. Leadership, management and communication
3. Governance and relationships
4. Quality of teaching and learning
5. Skills development program for educators and other members of staff
6. Curriculum provision and resources (Nigeria and British)
7. School safety, security and discipline.
8. Learner achievements
9. School infrastructure
10. Parents and community
11. Marketing and communication.
The areas of evaluation constitute the major aspects of the work that is done in the two schools. To meet the benchmark against international educational standards and norms, local and international experts are invited to perform the external evaluation of the schools.
They write reports on the quality of the schools and rate them on a specific scale. This rating indicates if the schools are meeting minimum set quality norms and standards.
