The Proprietress, Mrs. Sarah Yakubu

Mrs. Sarah Yakubu is a well-known educationist whose experience as a teacher and passion for quality education inspired her to establish Progress Dynamic International Academy, a subsidiary of Divine Progress Schools, Kaduna.

Having made her mark in Kaduna, the smart, purposeful, and goal-driven Proprietress moved on to establish Progress Dynamic International Academy in Lugbe, Abuja, on the 19th of September, 2016, with 78 pupils and 13 teachers across the Nursery and Primary classes.

From the very beginning, the vision, mission, and core values were clearly defined to guide every member of the PDIA community. The Academy is dedicated to cultivating disciplined, resilient, and confident learners who are inspired to lead with excellence on the global stage.

Our Approach: From Vision to Reality

At PDIA, we believe every child deserves an education that recognises their potential, responds to their individual needs, and prepares them for a changing world. Our approach combines passionate educators, innovative instructional practices, and purposeful use of technology to create engaging, supportive, and stimulating learning experiences.

We recognise that the quality of teaching plays a defining role in a child's intellectual, social, emotional, and personal development. Our teachers bring enthusiasm, creativity, and a genuine love for working with children into the classroom. Through continuous professional development and reflective practice, we strengthen our capacity to meet the evolving needs of our learners.

Innovation at PDIA goes beyond technology. It means identifying learning gaps, providing timely support, encouraging curiosity, nurturing confidence, and helping every child make meaningful progress.

Our Team of Educators

Our teachers are passionate, creative, and dedicated to shaping future-ready leaders. They adopt modern teaching methods, stay current with global trends, and provide students with the best education possible. At PDIA, we value innovation, curiosity, and continuous improvement in teaching and learning.

Effective Collaboration for Success

  • Keep students at the centre of every decision.
  • Believe that all students can learn and achieve.
  • Partner with parents to support learning.
  • Build character and responsibility.
  • Remind students they are accountable for their own learning.
  • Develop programmes that match academic abilities and provide all-round education.

PDIA’s Enabling Learning Environment

Our facilities include classrooms, offices, libraries, laboratories, conveniences, furniture, and sporting equipment — all provided to meet national and international standards. Beyond infrastructure, the warm interaction among teachers, pupils, parents, and the wider community creates a positive school climate that supports effective teaching and learning.

Our Quality Assurance Team

Our internal quality assurance team systematically monitors, evaluates, and reports on academic activities and school practices to ensure visible and improved learning outcomes.

Care, Guidance, and Safety

PDIA cares deeply for every child. We ensure students feel safe, supported, respected, and valued. From admission, we build relationships that help children feel confident and able to access new opportunities.

Our qualified, proactive staff closely monitor students’ wellbeing and work with parents to provide the support each child needs to flourish. Our school nurse is always available to attend to health concerns and provide first aid when necessary.
