The management of Bridge House College said the school’s vision is to help students achieve success in life through the acquisition of knowledge.
The Executive Director of BHC, Dr. Foluke AbdulRazaq, disclosed this at a media conference on Tuesday.
The conference was to mark the beginning of the college’s 20th anniversary celebration.
AbdulRazaq indicated that the mission of the College is to “empower students to reach their full potential through intensive, personalised teaching methods, utilising modern resources and technology”.
She said: “The college maintains high standards through its membership in the Council of British International Schools.”
In addition, she indicated that the college was established to check the “Japa Syndrome” in the country.
She highlighted that BHC aimed to provide quality education locally, preventing the need for students to seek it abroad, emphasising that the college’s commitment to producing graduates who are employers of labour and capable of addressing the country’s challenges is unwavering.
Recounting the college’s achievements, Dr. AbdulRazaq, a former Lagos State Commissioner, noted that BHC’s student results have set the school apart, earning numerous awards and recognitions.
She said: “In the past 20 years, the college has graduated over 3,000 A-Level students who are now employers across Nigeria.
“The anniversary celebration includes: the unveiling of a new college’s logo and various other programmes.”
Lagos State Commissioner for Youth and Social Development and former Director of the College, Bolaji Ogunlende, expressed optimism about the college’s achievements and growth.
Ogunlende said: “The college, founded by my parents in 2004, has shown excellence, growth, and tenacity over the past 20 years.
“Despite challenges, we are proud of the results and the quality of students we have graduated from the college.
“In two weeks, we will celebrate the graduation of our 20th set of students.”
Ogunlende emphasised the importance of nurturing young minds to become good citizens, which in turn makes the economy and environment safer.
“Many young people are restless, and this college ensures their energy is channelled into the right activities,” he added.
