The present Aflon Academy that was established in January 2005, with an initial intake of 60 students, and now having 220 students is transforming into Aflon Digital Academy (ADA). The Development Control Department of the Abuja Metropolitan Authority (AMA) and the Education Department of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) have both granted approval for the development of a 6 Hectares of Land—Plot No. CP 9, 11, & 12, Cadastral Zone AA2, Sector Centre B, Kuje; located just 5 kilometres off the Abuja to Airport expressway, adjoining the Kuje Trans-National Market. The school will therefore relocate and commence educational activities at the permanent campus as from September, 2007.
School Colours—Blue and Gold;
Motto—Aim to be the Best;
Beliefs and Values
While ADA is being established on a Christian Institution of the Baptist flavour, we SHALL not impose this particular system of beliefs on any member of the school staff or students. Rather we shall endeavour to create an atmosphere of freedom, tolerance and mutual respect for all forms of beliefs and or non-beliefs, seeking to emphasise what unites all humanity, as creations of God.
In practical Terms
Guided by the above stated mission statement and goals, ADA will:
- help each student achieve his or her individual potentials through the provision of a broad and balanced education which will equip each student with skills and appropriate knowledge;
- provide each student with the foundation required for successful attainment of life long educational attainment,
- provide for each student the opportunities necessary to develop aesthetic appreciation and the skills to develop creative ability;
- maintain for each student a programme leading to healthy physical development, especially by means of a well developed sports programme catering for a range of abilities and interests;
- encourage, through field trips and excursions, an awareness of our dependence on our physical environment and a commitment to its preservation;
- help each student to develop the life skills necessary to flourish in the modern world;
- develop in each student a sense of responsibility towards the school, especially by the provision of opportunities for service to the community;
- guide each student towards the development of personal qualities of self-respect, self-reliance, tolerance and compassion; and
- encourage the continued development of the personal, moral and spiritual values that each student brings from his or her family and community as well as respect for the religious practices and beliefs of others.
Our Expectations
In order that our students can obtain the most from their time at the school, we expect each student to
- come to school on time and be prepared at all times for classes and activities,
- ensure that the school is a good learning environment by respecting the learning needs of other students,
- help to make the school a tidy and pleasant environment in which to work,
- work to achieve the most possible within all classes and activities,
- respect the opinions and beliefs of others in the school community, and
- live within the school's rules and regulations.
