Built on Care.
Driven by
Curiosity.
From a small playgroup with a big dream, we've grown into a thriving school community that walks with every child from their very first step into learning all the way through Grade School.
Our Story
We started as a small playgroup with a big dream — that every child deserves a school that truly sees them.
— Mrs. Joysam Ngene, Founding Principal
Established on 17th September, 2019, Thinkers Base Academy is located at Plot 183A/B Mary Emmanuel Street New GRA Trans-Ekulu, Enugu.

Mission, Vision & Values
Our Mission
To provide an exceptional, inclusive education that nurtures every child's unique potential — from their very first day in Creche to the moment they step into the world as confident, capable young people.

Our Learning Philosophy
We combine the best of Nigerian and British educational traditions — blending rigour with warmth, structure with play, and knowledge with character.
Play-Based Learning
We use inquiry-based, objective-based and thematic approaches. Learning through play isn't optional — it's essential to how young minds grow.
Montessori Approach
Children are active constructors of knowledge. We guide, not dictate — nurturing independence, self-motivation and intrinsic curiosity.
Global Citizenship
We prepare compassionate, internationally-minded young people who can contribute to — and help improve — the world around them.
Critical Thinking
Every lesson is designed to develop questioning minds that can analyse, evaluate, and arrive at their own thoughtful conclusions.
Creative Expression
Art, music, drama and storytelling are core — not extras. Creativity is at the heart of how children process and own knowledge.
Communication Skills
From Public Speaking Club to daily discussions, we build confident voices that can articulate ideas with clarity and conviction.
