PATRIS is steadfast in its mission to offer quality education to children and youth in Jos and its surrounding areas. Through our schools, we provide functional education to children and teenagers through the Kingdom Citizens’ International College and the Kingdom Citizens’ College. We believe that education is the foundation for crafting a brighter future for the next generation. Moreover, PATRIS’s scholarship initiative is a testament to our belief that passionate individuals, regardless of their background, deserve a chance at quality education. Under this portfolio, PATRIS has developed a comprehensive educational initiative known as the Excellent Performance Support Scheme (EPSS). EPSS is designed to award full educational scholarships to out-of-school/underprivileged children whose passion for education is demonstrated in their excellent performance. Since launching this initiative in 2012, we’ve successfully enrolled 25 children from elementary school who have completed high school and are now exploring opportunities in higher education.
Interventions under our Education Portfolio:
- The Kingdom Citizens’ International School (KCIS)
- Kingdom Citizens’ College (KCC)
- Excellent Performance Support Scheme (EPSS)
- Reading clinics to improve the literacy skills of children from marginalized communities.P
