Theme: “Reach for the Stars”

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

As the curtains draw to a close on yet another remarkable academic year at Merosa Academy, we pause to reflect on a journey defined by growth, grit, and greatness. Our chosen theme, “Reach for the Stars,” has been more than just a guiding phrase—it became a challenge, a call to action, and a celebration of aspiration for every member of our school community.

A Year of Purposeful People and Progress.

In the Human Resources Department, we understand that the foundation of excellence is people. This year, our mission went beyond recruitment; it focused on intentional talent acquisition—bringing in professionals with not just credentials, but with character, heart, and a shared vision.

At Merosa, we value individuals who reflect the very ideals we strive to instill in our students: integrity, innovation, empathy, and excellence.

As Steve Jobs once said,

“Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.”

That spirit of collaboration and community has echoed throughout our school halls. We’ve nurtured a culture that supports professional development, encourages wellness, and celebrates performance with purpose. Every appraisal has been more than a formality—it’s been an opportunity to mentor, to guide, and to grow. Our evolving staff performance system served as a platform not just for evaluation, but for elevation.

Raising the Bar with Quality Assurance

On the Quality Assurance front, excellence remains our non-negotiable standard. Every lesson delivered, every vendor engaged, every message shared—from blogs to bulletins—was carefully assessed to ensure alignment with the Merosa brand and the high expectations of our stakeholders.

With a deep commitment to consistency and care, we anchored our operations in the belief that:

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” – Aristotle

This philosophy has driven us to maintain high standards across teaching, learning, and administration. Our aim is not only to meet expectations, but to exceed them with integrity and intention.

Looking Ahead: Keeping Our Eyes on the Stars

“Reach for the Stars” wasn’t just a theme for our learners—it was a mindset for us too. From HR to administration, from classrooms to QA, we’ve all reached beyond comfort zones, stretched our capacities, and refined our collective vision.

As we close this academic chapter, we do so not with finality, but with renewed momentum. The stars remain within reach—not just for our students, but for every staff member, every leader, and every dreamer within the Merosa family.

At Merosa Academy, reaching for the stars is not just something we do—

It’s who we are.

With gratitude and pride,

Olaniyi Florence (Mrs.)

Merosa Academy EYFS: Where Future Leaders Begin Their Journey

Merosa Academy EYFS: Where Future Leaders Begin Their Journey

At Merosa Academy’s Early Years Foundation School (EYFS), we don’t just teach — we inspire, nurture, and empower. We believe that every child holds infinite potential, and in these foundational years, they deserve an environment where learning is joyful, exploration is encouraged, and love is intentional. This is where greatness begins — and we are honored to be part of the journey.

Our Philosophy: Unfolding the Leader in Every Child
We adopt the powerful words of Jess Lair: “Children are not things to be molded but are people to be unfolded.” At Merosa Academy, we believe children come into the world with natural gifts, curiosities, and creativity. Our role is to guide, nurture, and support them as they discover their voice, develop character, and explore the world around them.

A Home-Like Environment That Sparks Growth
Children thrive in spaces where they feel safe, seen, and celebrated. That’s why we’ve created a beautiful, vibrant, and homely environment where each corner is designed to inspire creativity, imagination, and joyful learning. From colorful classrooms to child-friendly outdoor play zones, our learning space speaks the language of wonder.

Exceptional Educators and Caregivers
Our team of warm, professional caregivers and passionate teachers are more than educators — they are mentors, role models, and trusted guides. Each team member is selected not only for their expertise but for their heart. We partner with families to ensure every child receives the attention, love, and encouragement they deserve.

Learning Beyond the Classroom
We believe that learning should be memorable, meaningful, and full of laughter. Through hands-on activities, storytelling, music, art, and outdoor exploration, we create experiences that children remember long after they leave our classrooms. Our aim is to raise well-rounded learners who are confident, emotionally intelligent, and socially aware.

Building Character and Confidence from the Start
We don’t just teach ABCs and 123s — we teach kindness, courage, and curiosity. Our programs are tailored to build resilience, foster leadership, and promote effective communication skills. Each day is an opportunity to shape not just minds, but hearts.

Parents Are Our Partners
We believe education is most powerful when it’s a partnership. At Merosa, we maintain an open-door policy, encouraging strong communication and collaboration between parents and teachers. We work together to ensure every child’s journey is intentional, supported, and celebrated.

This is Why you should choose Merosa Academy early years
– A nurturing, vibrant, and stimulating learning environment
– Warm, experienced caregivers and qualified teachers
– Values-driven education that prioritizes character and creativity
– Engaging curriculum that balances academics and life skills
– Safe, homely setting designed for exploration and joy
– A community that feels like family

At Merosa Academy EYFS, we don’t just prepare children for school — we prepare them for life. We plant seeds of greatness, water them with love, and watch them bloom into thoughtful, brilliant, and confident individuals. Come experience early childhood education — the Merosa way.

The Role of Extracurricular Activities in Student Development

The Role of Extracurricular Activities in Student Development

Education goes beyond textbooks. While academic success is important, extracurricular activities play a crucial role in shaping well-rounded students. At Merosa Academy, we encourage students to participate in various activities that build skills, confidence, and character.

1. Boosting Academic Performance

It may sound surprising, but students involved in sports, music, drama, or debate often perform better academically. Why? Because extracurricular activities enhance focus, discipline, and time management skills, helping students balance their studies effectively.

2. Developing Leadership and Teamwork Skills

Participation in school clubs and organizations teaches students responsibility, collaboration, and leadership. Whether it’s being a class prefect, a debate team member, or a school club leader, these experiences prepare students for real-world challenges.

3. Encouraging Social and Emotional Growth

Activities outside the classroom help students develop confidence, self-expression, and resilience. They learn to communicate, handle setbacks, and build friendships, which are essential life skills.

4. Discovering Passions and Career Paths

Extracurricular activities expose students to different interests and talents. A student passionate about coding, sports, music, or writing may turn that passion into a future career. At Merosa Academy, we nurture students’ skills, helping them explore potential career paths from an early age.

5. Striking a Balance

While extracurricular activities are beneficial, students must learn to balance them with their studies. That’s why at Merosa Academy, we provide structured guidance to ensure that students excel both in academics and in their chosen activities.

At Merosa Academy, we believe that a well-rounded education prepares students for a brighter future. Encouraging children to explore extracurricular activities builds confidence, shapes character, and opens doors to endless opportunities.

Excellent Communication Skills

Excellent Communication Skills

Excellent Communication Skills!

At Merosa Academy, we are thrilled to share the remarkable progress of our learners in improving on their Diction skills with great support and commitment from our diction instructor Ms Betty who has over time made significant strides in improving the way our amazing jewels use language, and we are excited to share some of the highlights with you.

Improved Vocabulary

One of the key areas of focus has been on expanding the learners vocabulary through a combination of reading, writing, and speaking activities, they have learned to use a wide range of words and phrases to express themselves more effectively.

Enhanced Pronunciation

Another area of improvement has been in pronunciation. Our learners have worked hard to develop their pronunciation skills, and we have seen a noticeable reduction in errors and misconceptions. Through regular practice and feedback, they have become more aware of the sounds, intonation, and rhythm of the English language, which has helped them to communicate more effectively.

Increased Confidence

Perhaps most significantly, we have seen a marked increase in our learners confidence when using English. They are now more willing to take risks, participate in class discussions, and engage in conversations with their peers and teachers. This increased confidence has had a positive impact on their overall academic performance and has enabled them to build stronger relationships with their classmates and teachers.

Success Stories

We would like to share a success story that highlight the progress they have made.

Our learners stood out in the Inter-School Competition they had recently and we couldn’t be prouder of their achievement! What’s even more impressive is that their success can be attributed to their exceptional use of diction.

Throughout the competition, our jewels demonstrated a mastery of language that set them apart from their peers. Their ability to articulate complex ideas with clarity and precision, combined with their confident and expressive delivery, left a lasting impression on the judges and audience alike.

The Power of Diction

Our learners’ impressive performance is a testament to the importance of diction in effective communication. By using language in a way that is clear, concise, and engaging, they were able to convey their message with conviction and persuade the judges to award them.

A little empathy can go a long way

A little empathy can go a long way

A learner stopped me today on my way back from the school hall. He looked familiar, but I couldn’t place him at first. Then, I recalled that he had appeared at my office door last academic year, out of the blue. He had been a learner in my large leadership meeting of over 70 junior and senior learners. But not that term; some previous terms, and he had never come to my office before or ever spoken to me since then. So he was not one of my current students, and I learned that he was not even a high school learner. He was desperately seeking help and advice, and he must have thought that I was at least approachable. And my office door was open.

He was a young learner in danger of failing out of school. I pulled out his academic transcript from the Head of School and his grades ‘were all over the bar’.  We talked. I asked him what he really liked doing, and about his dreams for his future. He was clearly extremely bright, but I thought I could see signs of fear and frustration arising from peer pressure. I gave him some words of encouragement. I urged him to seek counseling from the school’s counselor, and advised him to consider having a mentor in the school because I know our teachers are exceptionally great. I also invited him back to talk at any time.

I did not see him again until today; at the orientation program for new high school learners.  He told me he took my words of encouragement to heart. He told his parents that I changed his life and they were impressed. He had become so bright and held some leadership position in class and in school before graduating from the year school; courtesy of little sense of Empathy.

I spent less than an hour with him. I can’t claim that I mentored him – that takes much more time and a deeper relationship. I had an open door and showed him some empathy. And that was just enough, apparently, for him to take action and get his life back on track. Today is a day I celebrate an unexpected and hitherto unknown victory here in Merosa Academy.
