The program took place at two Bridge Schools, Obadeyi Academy in Lagos and Bamgbola Academy in Osun State. According to Foyinsola Akinjayeju, the Managing Director of Bridge International Academies in Nigeria, “Our mission at Bridge—to provide millions of children with life-changing education—drives what we do so that children have the platform and the support to break out of generational limitations and are set on a pathway to a brighter and more prosperous future, beyond what their parents achieved.”

Akinjayeju added, “We are excited to have partnered with The Special Foundation to provide this enriching summer school program because education is a powerful tool for transformation. By offering a comprehensive learning experience that includes both academic subjects and practical skills, we are contributing to the growth of these children as well-rounded individuals.”

The Special Foundation also expressed its commitment to providing unfettered access to education for every child. “This year, we have expanded our reach to six centres, one of which includes the Bridge International Academies in Lagos and Osogbo. At The Special Foundation, our core belief is that every child should have unfettered access to education. Hence, the summer school program is completely free; we want to ensure that every child can seize the opportunity to learn, have fun, and learn a basic skill necessary for them to become future leaders.

The collaborative effort between Bridge International Academies and The Special Foundation underscored a commitment to addressing educational disparities and nurturing the holistic development of children, particularly those who are out of school or lack access to quality educational resources. By combining academic learning with vocational training, the program empowered children with knowledge and instilled in them a sense of creativity, self-expression, and entrepreneurship
