About Us

Our Vision

Our goal is not just to educate, but to form people of depth – intellectually, spiritually, and psychologically. To form young people who are empowered to deal with change, and who are capable of conversion – whether spiritual or social; and who because of this formation, are empowered to work for the transformation of the world around them.

This is how GJC hopes to give flesh to this vision: First, in addition to the regular secondary education curriculum in Nigeria which will be blended with other curricula, GJC will also be running a unique and parallel package tagged GONZAGA EXPEDITIONS (GE). GE will include studies in the areas of innovation, critical thinking and creativity, ethical decision making, mentorship, life coaching among others. This program will also host an Innovation Lab, which will introduce GJC students to the basics of coding, digital skills and other areas of innovation. Right from the first year, teaching and learning within GJC will happen in a way that helps GJC students easily transition into the changing world of the digital universe.
