Academics Info

The world is moving fast, so are our children imbibing knowledge fast. Every child needs a certain number of measurable standards. For this reason, parents and guardians are worried about their children succeeding in every sphere. There is no doubt, that success has its place. Here, we go beyond your expectations!

The Lord Shines Edu. Institute runs the Ghana Education Service curriculum in a more standardized way designed to meet the requirements of a world-class basic school.

  • Basic Emergency Responses/Life Saving Techniques
  • Marshal Arts
  • Fire Fighting Basics
  • Swimming
  • Bead Making
  • Home Setup
  • Graphic Designing
  • Photography
  • Music / Bands
  • Fashion Design
  • Hair Dressing
  • Coding
  • TV Installation



For our students to keep abreast of current trends, they are encouraged to listen to the news every evening and report on the same every morning in class before active lessons commence.

 

Academic Departments

The classes have been grouped into four (4) departments each, headed by a departmental head.

  • Preschool Department (crèche, nursery and kindergarten)
  • Lower Primary Department (Basic 1 to Basic 3)
  • Upper Primary Department (Basic 4 to Basic 6)
  • Junior High Department (JHS1-3)

Teaching and Learning

Teaching and learning at Lord Shines is done in an improved way by integrating ICT and the use of audiovisual aids.

We ensure that our facilitators strictly employ the child-centered approach to teaching and learning. An enabling environment is created in our classrooms for learners to explore, interact, and feel safe while learning.
There are enough teaching and learning materials to make teaching and learning very easy.

Assessment / Examination
Facilitators are encouraged to conduct regular assessment to ascertain whether the instructions delivered were properly understood or not.
Facilitators are expected to assess learners daily after each lesson. Assessment could either be oral or written.

At the end of each month, learners are again given a monthly assessment (for everything studied within the month).
Apart from our internal assessment, learners (finalist in JHS3) are also assessed by the West Africa Examination Council’s annually, thus Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

Homework / Research
It is the policy of the school to give homework or research work regularly. This is done to complement the teaching and learning done in school and also encourage learners to develop the habit of learning on their own.

Parents are encouraged to only assist learners in their research work or homework by providing further explanations. Parents are discouraged from writing and providing direct answers for learners.
