Who we are

About Greenish School

Greenish School is a co-educational day school on Cemetery Road, Umuahia North, Abia State. We take children from their first years in nursery right through to senior secondary, and we keep the same promise at every level: a real education, delivered by teachers who know your child. Our classrooms are deliberately small. Teachers mark work, track progress and speak to parents about it — not once a term, but as often as it matters. Results, attendance and fees are all published to parents through the school portal, so nothing about your child's progress is a mystery until report day. Beyond the timetable, pupils read, debate, sing, farm and play. We think character is taught the same way arithmetic is: patiently, on purpose, and every day.
