The outstanding students, Akota-Chika Serena of the school’s Magodo campus and Tolulope Israel Adekimi of the Lekki campus, recorded the highest scores globally in their respective subjects, earning the prestigious Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards from the Cambridge International Examination Council.

Speaking on their remarkable achievement, the students attributed their success to the unwavering dedication of Caleb British International School’s academic and non-academic staff. They praised the institution for creating a supportive learning environment that prioritises academic excellence, personal development, and character building.
Reacting to the feat, the Director of Caleb Group of Schools, Dr. Ola Adebogun, described the accomplishment as a proud moment not only for the institution but also for Nigeria. He said the global recognition reflects the students’ hard work, resilience, and the school’s commitment to delivering quality education through an integrated Nigerian and British curriculum.
According to Adebogun, Caleb British International School was established to nurture confident, well-rounded, and morally upright young people equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to make meaningful contributions to society.
He added that the school’s consistent success in national and international examinations is driven by its investment in quality teaching, modern learning facilities, and a culture that encourages every student to achieve their full potential.
The achievement further reinforces Nigeria’s growing reputation for academic excellence on the global stage and highlights the increasing impact of private educational institutions in producing world-class students capable of competing with their peers internationally.
