We are authorised to provide pre-primary and primary education by the Governments of Abia State, Cross River State and Akwa Ibom State, through their respective Ministries of Education, all in Nigeria. We are in the process of obtaining registration and authorization for the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), to run side by side with our Nigerian National curriculum which has already been cross-linked with the British and American Curriculums. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT OUR CORE VALUES are summed up in the acronym "SKETCHES". ​ SINCERE - Being honest in dealings with one another KNOWLEDGEABLE - Always willing to seek more information EXPLORER - Imbibing the spirit of adventure and inquiry TRUSTING - Easily relying on oneself, in educators and in the Creator COURAGEOUS - Exhibiting boldness and confidence in the face of challenges HARDWORKER - Willing to go through the grind to succeed EMPATHETIC - Always ready to show compassion on the less fortunate STRONG - Being strong in body, soul and spirit; consistency in character. ​ Sketches literally refer to plans or a drawings or outlines of the traits we desire to cultivate in our children. At Tenderhearts, we envisage that this set of character traits can be built through our mentored guidance of the children in reading wide, co-curricular trips and activities, active listening in class and outdoors, active participation, physical fitness, and in appreciating nature and the Creatio

Tenderhearts Schools founded in 2002 became an attempt by the founders at answering these probing questions, using their own children as “guinea pigs” for this new experiment. Sooner than later five other children whose daring parents were prepared to take a calculated risk on the founders, came on board. From there, it became grinding passion and commitment to produce over a decade of fruitful existence.   Thus, we found our purpose – to present to the world an African child (0-12years) who is not in any way physically, socially, emotionally, ethically, spiritually and mentally disadvantaged relative to his/her contemporaries in other parts of the world. They can pursue their own dreams and become a useful member of our society, and the world at large. We provide to society at an affordable cost, teaching and caring methods with extra focus on the growing child’s internal condition in addition to his/her external learning environment. We are compelled to do what we do daily because we believe that one day, this dream will be realized. ​ At Tenderhearts, we have tried to create an exciting learning environment, which is safe for young learners, and presents them with the opportunity to learn at their full potential while teaching them the dignity of human existence, and therefore its sustainability.
