Welcome to the Academy

Dear Parents,
Welcome!
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Ark of Hope Modern Academy. At AOH, young people are enabled to make excellent academic progress and develop the knowledge, skills, qualities and values required to lead successful and fulfilling adult lives.
We have a fantastic school with a supportive and involved parent community, dedicated and highly skillful staff with excellent resources.
Education is a shared commitment between teachers, motivated students and enthusiastic parents with high expectations.
The role of AOH is not only to pursue academic excellence but also to motivate and empower its students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers and productive members of an ever changing global society.
We strive hard to make the best possible efforts to inculcate strong values combining with academics and extra-curricular activities in students, thus converting every individual into a self reliant and independent citizen. In addition to providing the highest quality teaching for successful learning in lessons, we are passionate about providing excellent enrichment opportunities beyond the classroom so that all of our students have a rewarding and enjoyable time with us as they develop their interests and talents.
We have an open door policy and we ask all parents to take this opportunity to discuss any issues with us so that we can move forward together.
Statement from the I.C.T Director
Tennyson T.S Kuyateh
Technology literacy is the ability of an individual, working independently and with others, to responsibly, appropriately and effectively use technology tools to access, manage, integrate, evaluate, create and communicate information.
The philosophy of Ark of Hope Modern Academy is one which provides the very best teaching and learning environment possible. We believe that every child is entitled to a skill in technology and should be able to use technology as a tool in everyday life.
At Ark of Hope Modern Academy we want our students to become digitally
literate, becoming digitally literate means that students develop technological skills, learn authorship rules, such as copyright and plagiarism, understand how to access online information and learn social responsibility while interacting on social networks.
Advances in technology provide digital due resources for education curriculums, which significantly contribute to digital literacy learning. For example, when students have digital tools available for writing assignments, they enjoy creating multimedia presentations that enhance their writing skills.
The following digital tools help bring a student’s writing to life:
– Insert relevant informations
– Access to more information
– Insert Images
– Receive instant feedback with chat features
– Edit spelling and grammar themselves
– Quick and detailed tutorials
– Ability to search and attain facts instantly
