Powerfields Schools has reached another outstanding milestone by becoming a certified centre for the International Award for Young People (IAYP), proudly licensed by the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation. This global recognition reaffirms Powerfields Schools’ commitment to delivering world-class education and nurturing future-ready leaders through holistic development, personal growth, and real-world exposure. As one of the top private schools in Nigeria, Powerfields continues to set the standard for excellence in academic and extracurricular achievement. Our participation in this prestigious international program places us in the ranks of the most forward-thinking institutions globally and reflects our mission to prepare students not just for exams, but for life.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is the world’s leading youth achievement program, founded in 1956 by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. It equips young people with essential life skills, resilience, leadership, and a strong sense of social responsibility. With over 140 countries participating, the program has impacted millions of students worldwide, helping them become more confident, responsible, and community-minded citizens.

Now, with Powerfields Schools joining this elite network, our students will gain access to a framework of activities that challenge them beyond the classroom and inspire them to unlock their full potential.

At Powerfields, we believe that learning extends far beyond textbooks. This partnership gives our students the opportunity to engage in activities that build Leadership and responsibility, Global awareness and citizenship, Teamwork, communication, and perseverance, and Personal development through volunteering, physical recreation, skills acquisition, and adventurous journeys. This aligns with our ethos as Nigeria’s leading international curriculum school, offering IGCSE programs, and a globally-minded education that stands out in Africa and beyond.

This milestone is not just a badge of honour. It’s a clear demonstration of how Powerfields continues to take education beyond the classroom. Whether it’s through our innovation centres (featuring AI & Robotics, Music Labs, Culinary Arts, and Hospitality Labs), student-led initiatives, or international partnerships like this, Powerfields Schools remains committed to exposing learners to the best learning opportunities available.

With this new affiliation, we further position ourselves as one of the top Lagos secondary schools with international curriculum, a Montessori nursery and primary school in Lagos, and a beacon of excellence for top boarding schools in Nigeria.
