WHAT PARENTS & ALUMNI SAY

Hear from parents and alumni about how Irene Menakaya Schools has made their children their pride.

Irene Menakaya Schools stands out for its innovative approach to education. My son participates in the Debating Club, Dramatic Club, and Inter-house Sports - activities that have built his confidence and leadership skills tremendously. The SDGs Education and Culture & Current Affairs programs make him socially conscious. The School Activity Days and Field Trips provide practical learning experiences. After 45+ years of excellence, this school continues to set the standard in Onitsha. My child is truly my pride!

Choosing Irene Menakaya Schools for my daughter was the best decision. The Play Class program (ages 2-3) provided the perfect foundation with fun-filled learning and mental development activities. The Grandparents Education Together (GET) program is wonderful - my mother actively participates in my daughter's learning journey. The school's focus on moral education and character building, combined with academic excellence, creates truly responsible children.

I am an alumnus of Irene Menakaya Schools (Class of 1995) and now my son attends the same institution. The legacy of excellence continues! The school has evolved with modern teaching methods while maintaining its core values of integrity and moral development. The holistic curriculum - Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor - ensures well-rounded development. The location at GRA Onitsha is convenient and safe. I highly recommend this school to any parent.

As a working mother, the Day Care program at Irene Menakaya Schools was a lifesaver. From 3 months old, my daughter received exceptional care and early learning stimulation. Now in Primary 3, she excels academically and socially. Professor Menakaya's background as a child psychologist reflects in every aspect of the school - they truly understand child development. The Breakfast Book Club and PenPal Exchange have made her love learning.

Irene Menakaya Schools has been a blessing to our family for over 8 years now. My three children have all attended from nursery through primary, and the transformation in each of them has been remarkable. The school truly lives up to its motto - "My Child is My Pride". The teachers are not just educators but mentors who genuinely care. The unique UN programs and Model United Nations have given my children global awareness beyond their years.
