About FAMVAR International Secondary School
With a well planned layout, the school building drawings were developed and approved by the relevant authorities and work started in earnest in 2005 and was completed in early 2008. Two blocks were erected, one for the academic section and the other for administration.The School Hall, Classrooms, Staff rooms, Sick Bay, Sports store, Science Laboratories, Library, ICT Laboratory, Music Studio, Fine art studio and other facilities were then equipped accordingly.
A formal application for approval to commence was made to the Rivers State Ministry of Education in June 2008. We became a Government approved School in June 2011.
Staff were, in the meantime, recruited through an open interview with a panel of Educationists. Emphasis was placed on teaching qualification and relevant experience. A total of 19 teachers were recruited to cover all the subjects, with a non academic staff of 7 to cover other duties.The first batch of students admitted numbered 21.Academic work kicked off on the 22nd of September 2008.We presently offer admission into JS 1 – SS 3.
