At ABS, we’re dedicated to providing a holistic education that nurtures independence, creativity, and lifelong learning skills in every child. Our unique approach blends the best of educational practices, incorporating elements of the British education system while prioritizing French language instruction. Given The Gambia’s English-speaking context and the cultural ties many Gambians have with neighbouring Senegal, we believe this bilingual focus will enhance your child’s global awareness and cultural understanding.
Under the guidance of Mr. Alexander Holmes, with over 20 years of experience in higher education in both the Gambia and United Kingdom, we’ve developed a bespoke teaching approach that emphasizes hands-on, experiential learning. Our curriculum is designed to engage children through community-based activities, encouraging them to explore, connect, and grow.
Inspired by the rich culture of The Gambia, ABS is more than just a nursery; it’s a thriving community where families come together. We believe in the power of collaboration, reflecting the idea that raising a child is a collective effort—much like a village.
At ABS, our mission is to provide a focused and enriching educational experience that goes beyond just play. We believe in the importance of preparing children for their future academic journeys, ensuring they are ready to thrive in higher education and beyond.
We prioritize independence, empowering children to develop confidence in themselves and their abilities. Our approach treats them as young adults, encouraging critical thinking and self-discovery in a supportive environment. We foster a culture where children learn to navigate the world around them, cultivating essential life skills that will serve them well in their future endeavours.
By emphasizing a well-rounded education, we ensure that our children not only enjoy their early learning experiences but also leave our school equipped with the knowledge and independence they need to succeed. At ABS, we are committed to nurturing a generation of confident, capable learners ready to take on the challenges of the world.
