We understand that education today goes beyond academic success. It’s about equipping students with the skills and values they need to thrive in a changing world. While we maintain a strong focus on academics, we also recognize the growing importance of practical and vocational skills in today’s economy. That’s why we’ve embedded Catering and Home Management into our curriculum, giving our students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in preparing various Nigerian snacks and dishes. Through this program, students learn not only the art of cooking but also the discipline, creativity, and entrepreneurial skills that come with it.

Students learned how to prepare Nigeria’s favorite snack, the classic meat pie. From kneading the dough to cooking the rich, flavorful filling of minced meat, potatoes, and carrots, they practiced patience, precision, and creativity.
Our young chefs mastered the secret to a good pot of Nigerian Jollof Rice and Fried Rice. The balance between spice, seasoning, and the smoky aroma that makes it special. This dish also taught them teamwork, as it involves several preparation steps from chopping to cooking. This colorful dish helped students practice vegetable cutting, frying, and combining ingredients properly. They learned how to cook rice to the right texture and mix it perfectly with vegetables, liver, and seasonings for that signature fried rice flavor.
Baking bread taught students the importance of measurement and timing. They learned how yeast works to make the dough rise, and how to achieve that soft, golden loaf that everyone loves.
In this lesson, students discovered how to mix simple ingredients to create fluffy and tasty pancakes. They experimented with toppings like honey and fruits while learning the basics of temperature control when using frying pans.
Each class brings our students closer to becoming confident cooks. Beyond cooking, they are learning discipline, hygiene, and a deep appreciation for the art of catering.
