Meet our proprietor
TBD International Academy is guided by its proprietor, Emmanuel I. Hangerior, and by the vision that gives the school its purpose:

Who looks after your child
Every section of the school has a head you can ask for by name when you visit.
A head for every section
Nursery, Lower Basic and Upper Basic each have their own head of section, so there is always someone who knows your child's year group and can answer for it.
Two adults in the youngest rooms
Nursery 1 and Nursery 2 each have a class assistant working alongside the class teacher, so the youngest learners are never left to one pair of hands.
A supervised campus
A compound master and a security team cover the grounds through the school day, and first aid provision is in place for every class.
