Support our work
Building upon the success of our model school which launched in 2019, KEY academy is committed to democratising access to 21st-century, project-based education across Nigeria and beyond. We do this through four key pillars:
Our four focus areas of work
1 - Model school
Our school in Lagos, Nigeria, demonstrates what 21st-century, project-based education looks like in a Nigerian context. Since launching in 2019, we have remained committed to delivering a world-class learning experience through meaningful projects and hands-on experiences that equip children with the knowledge and 21st-century skills to thrive.
2 - Strategic events
We design large-scale learning experiences that promote 21st-century skills, spark curiosity, and showcase talent. From student and educator conferences, to national competitions such as ChessMasters, now Africa’s largest annual primary school chess tournament.
3 - Teacher training and accreditation
Our digital platform, ImpactEducators, equips primary and secondary educators across Nigeria with world-class training, resources, and accreditation pathways through a proprietary mobile app, empowering them in a way never seen before.
4 - Publishing and policy advocacy
We are developing locally produced books and digital content in Nigeria’s three most widely spoken languages, hausa, igbo, and yoruba. In addition, we are working with NGOs and our local and national government to help shape educational policy reform.
Why your support matters
Nigeria’s challenges in the education sector are immense. As such, we believe that radically new thinking and approaches are required if we are to witness any meaningful change. Your support helps us scale proven, future-ready learning models and build systems that serve every child, not just the privileged few.
Our work is amplified by passionate supporters who believe that world-class, 21st-century, project-based education has the power to create multi-generational impact and transform lives. If you would like to contribute your expertise, time, network, or financial resources, we would love to hear from you.
