Akinjayeju noted, “We believe it is important for children to have a holistic education and that education is best when it combines the pursuit of academic excellence with the development of character. This is why we are intentional about our co-curricular activities, and a good reason our pupils excel inside and outside the classroom.
“This year’s inter-academy sports competition at Bridge International Academies is another opportunity to reward pupils that have developed their competencies in sports and demonstrated sportsmanship.”
