Principal's message
SIA Principal, Farouk Iliasu, shares insights and inspirations that define our commitment to academic excellence and nurturing all-rounded global citizens.
Welcome to the Savannah International Academy ’s website which provides a snapshot of who we are and what we are about. At SIA, we place the learner at the very heart of everything we do. Our overarching objective is to develop to the fullest, the potential of each student within a multicultural, multi-faith and international setting. SIA is a family – albeit a diverse family – and we celebrate that. We are stronger because of our differences and because of the way that we work together in collaboration with parents, the local community and other schools.
Our experienced teachers and staff are equipped with the necessary skills to unlock the full potential of students by establishing a good rapport with them and adapting teaching and learning strategies to meet the needs of individual learner. SIA prides itself not only on academic excellence but also our Curriculum Enrichment Programme (CEP) which imbues our students with Innovation, Leadership, Community and Entrepreneurship skills.
Our CEP experience encourages the student to challenge the status quo, offer alternative solutions and grow up to be responsible citizens who will contribute to society. It empowers our students and at the core of this empowerment is the belief that our students are capable of incredible achievements when provided with the opportunities and the tools to build their confidence. It gives them the courage to believe in themselves, to not be swayed by the opinions of others, and to go after their dreams.
This is the SIA experience. SIA really is an exciting and energetic place to be. Whether you are considering sending your child to SIA to experience our caring environment that offers phenomenal academic performance or you are interested in working with us, I hope you will take the opportunity to visit us. I look forward to meeting you.
