Parents involvement – Great North Road Academy believes that quality education can only be attained with full parent participation in the learning process of their children. We have deliberate programmes aimed at involving parents participation.
Best teachers – We have devised one of the best systems aimed at motivating our teachers.
Limited number per class – With Great North Road Academy, quality comes first. We have limited the number of pupils per class so that each pupil can get the necessary attention.
