Why was the College established?

The College has been established to provide admission opportunities into a post-primary institution for Primary Six pupils. These pupils may not otherwise have the opportunity to gain admission into government-established post-primary schools or other private institutions of learning within Kaduna. Admission opportunities are provided without prejudice as regards age, sex, religion or social status.

What are the aims of the College?

The College aims to:
•  Provide an increasing number of primary school leavers with the opportunity for high quality secondary education, irrespective of sex or social, religious and ethnic background.
•  Sufficiently diversify its curriculum in order to cater for the differences in talents possessed by students or potentially open to them on completion of their secondary school studies.
•  Equip students to live effectively in a modern age of science and technology.
•  Impart education with sound moral standards at the students' level.
•  Raise a generation of people who can think for themselves, respect the views and feelings of others, and appreciate the dignity of labour & the values specified under Nigeria 's broad national aims, as well as live as good citizens.
•  Foster Nigerian unity with emphases on common ties that unite us in our desire for achievement and self-improvement both at school and later in life.
•  Assist in the development of the Anglican Diocese of Kaduna in particular and Nigeria in general.
•  Develop and project Nigerian culture, art and languages as well as the world's cultural heritage.

In pursuing academic excellence, staff aim to make the students' studies highly relevant, with practical hands-on experience whenever possible, and stimulating educational excursions that demonstrate the real-world applications of what the students are learning.

The Building

The College's impressive building was substantially funded by the Barnabas Fund, UK with a view to assisting children from the villages in Kaduna Diocese. It is hoped that in the future, the College will be able to meet the educational needs of these families from rural backgrounds and thus open up opportunities for them that would otherwise not be available.

External Exams:

The College prepares students for external examinations at both JSCE and SSCE level. These include WAEC, SSCE NECO, JSCE NECO and Kaduna State examinations.

Graduating students have gained pleasing results with commendable numbers of credits at both SSCE and JSCE levels.
In keeping with its Christian commitment, the College has consistently maintained its stance of zero tolerance on examination malpractice.
