“Committed to Excellence”

This is as a result of the concept of providing academic excellence, critical thinking, relevant knowledge, social responsibility and building self -esteem, while respecting cultural diversity.

At The Mervyn Academy, we use innovative Educational Technologies (ET), to produce high achievers who are prepared to contribute significantly to their country’s political, social and economic development and to the world community.

The Mervyn Academy is the global institution of choice that consistently generates high achievement in academics, morals, physical fitness and social interactions.

At The Mervyn Academy, we prepare the children for a wide range of internationally accredited Examinations. They are specifically prepared for various university education globally.

We run a Hybrid curriculum.

The academic curriculum combines intellectual rigor with a broad thinking approach, developing both enthusiasm and a genuine understanding of the processes. From Nursery, primary and secondary, all subjects are taught by specialists.

To provide a well-rounded program, we have planned a structured progression that allows subjects to increase complexity and depth logically while allowing each student to take an increasing degree of responsibility of exciting ‘’after school’’ activities to help explore new avenues.

Our Curriculum is based on

• Academic Excellence
• Critical thinking
• Respect for cultural diversity
• Health, Personal ad intellectual fitness
• Self Esteem
• Student’s perceptions and global awareness
• Communication Enhancement
• Moral and spiritual development
• Self-respect and discipline
