Structured. Engaging. Transformational.
Summer School @ Twim Institute is a 5–8 week intensive holiday programme. While it is open to all secondary school students, it primarily targets students in public secondary schools.
It is completely free of charge.
The programme combines academic reinforcement, vocational exposure, structured play, and project-based learning to create measurable educational and personal growth within a short period of time.
This is not a casual holiday camp. It is a carefully designed developmental intervention.
Who It Is For
Summer School is primarily designed for:
Students, mostly in public secondary schools
Young people who need academic reinforcement
Students with limited exposure to structured extracurricular learning
Learners who would benefit from confidence-building and mentorship
Our Learning Philosophy
Summer School uses a blended approach built on:
Learning by doing
Project-based learning
Structured play
Peer collaboration
Mentorship and supervision
Students are actively engaged every day. They build, create, speak, collaborate, compete, and explore rather than passively sit in classrooms.
What Students Experience
During the 5–8 week program, participants engage in:
Academic Reinforcement
Focused improvement in communication skills, especially English language comprehension and expression.
Many students who previously struggled with English demonstrate significant improvement in fluency and confidence by the end of the program.
Vocational and Tech Exposure
Introduction to practical, hands-on skills that broaden students’ awareness of career pathways and self-employment opportunities. We place students in our different departments: Fashion, Culinary Arts, Media Arts, and Tech.
Structured Games & Critical Thinking Activities
Students participate in games that develop strategy, teamwork, and discipline, including:
Monopoly
Chess
Relay races
Badminton
Table tennis
Other supervised team activities
These activities build confidence, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
Arts, Crafts & Creative Projects
Students engage in creative exercises that encourage imagination, dexterity, and collaboration.
Field Trips & Excursions
Participants take part in supervised excursions within and outside Ibadan, expanding their exposure beyond their immediate environment and broadening their worldview.
Measurable Outcomes
The results of the Summer School programme are often immediate and visible.
By the end of the programme, many students:
Demonstrate significantly improved communication skills
Show stronger grasp of English expression
Display increased academic confidence
Become more motivated to complete secondary school
Develop aspirations toward higher education
Show improved teamwork and discipline
Become more financially aware and employability-conscious
Beyond the academic and vocational gains, students leave the programme more confident, more exposed, and more hopeful about their future.
And importantly, they have had an enjoyable and memorable experience while learning.
Why It Matters
For many participants, Summer School is a turning point.
It reshapes how they see education, work, and possibility.
By combining structured learning with structured play, we create an environment where growth feels natural, discipline feels achievable, and ambition feels attainable.
