An additional layer of structured guidance alongside a student's formal education, connecting academic preparation with career and university planning, practical life skills, access to opportunities, and an understanding of society.
The programme helps students move beyond simply completing their secondary education to understanding how to navigate it effectively and prepare for what comes next. Through the programme, students are supported to:
Navigating education, future opportunities and career pathways. Academic planning, subject combinations, WAEC and NECO, JAMB/UTME, Post-UTME, university courses and admission, scholarships, and evaluating learning resources.
Navigating personal development and everyday life. Communication, etiquette and social conduct, decision-making, responsibility, self-discipline, time management, problem-solving and the transition to adulthood.
Navigating society and the student's role within it. Understanding institutions, rights and responsibilities, examining social issues, evaluating competing claims, and informed participation in society.
Although the three areas are distinct, they are designed to work together. Together they provide a broader form of student support that complements the school's formal academic programme.
The programme is available across all three Senior Secondary levels. Content and depth are adapted to each level, recognising that students at different stages face different priorities.
The programme runs throughout the academic year, with three sessions per term, giving approximately nine sessions per academic year. Each term covers one session under each programme area.
| Term | Academic Navigation | Life & Skills | Civil Consciousness |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Term | Session 1 | Session 2 | Session 3 |
| Second Term | Session 4 | Session 5 | Session 6 |
| Third Term | Session 7 | Session 8 | Session 9 |
Sessions are scheduled in coordination with the school so they do not interfere with academic activities, and content is structured progressively across the year.
The programme does not rely solely on conventional lectures. Depending on the topic and the students' level, sessions may incorporate short presentations, guided discussions, question-and-answer sessions, practical demonstrations, real-life scenarios and case studies, group activities, resource demonstrations, problem-solving exercises, student reflections, and practical assignments where appropriate.
The aim is to make sessions participatory and practical while remaining compatible with the school's educational environment.
Antcircle recognises that the school's academic programme and existing responsibilities remain the priority. All activities are carried out in consultation with the school and in accordance with its policies, timetable and procedures.
Monitoring is carried out through student feedback, staff feedback, post-session review, observation of participation, follow-up activities, and ongoing communication with the school's designated representative.
The purpose is not to assess students the way academic examinations do. It is to ensure the programme stays relevant to students' needs, responsive to feedback, and aligned with the school's expectations.
We'd welcome the chance to discuss the programme with your school and adapt it to your students and academic calendar.
