In June 2025, KEY academy was named a Top 10 global finalist for the World’s Best School Prize for Innovation. This is a historic achievement, making us the first school in Nigeria, and West Africa more broadly, to ever be shortlisted in this category. Out of thousands of schools considered worldwide, this recognition affirms what KEY academy has built from the ground up -  a school where curiosity, creativity, and 21st-century project-based learning prepare young people not just for exams, but for life in the real world.

The World’s Best School Prize is awarded by T4 Education, a global education platform that celebrates schools driving real impact in their communities. With applications from thousands of schools in over 150 countries, the prizes are among the most respected in education worldwide, spotlighting bold innovation, inclusion, and leadership in schools shaping the future.

This recognition is a celebration of the shared belief and commitment of every student, parent, co-learner, partner, and friend who has walked this journey with us. Well done to all of us!
