In a significant step forward for education and community development, the Blessed Carlo Acutis Catholic School has officially commenced construction. The groundbreaking ceremony, held on November 3, 2024, marked the beginning of a project that aims to provide high-quality education rooted in Catholic values.

The new school, named after Blessed Carlo Acutis, a young Italian teenager known for his deep faith and passion for technology, is set to become a beacon of learning and spiritual growth. Located in Lagos, Nigeria, the institution will cater to students from kindergarten through high school, offering a comprehensive curriculum that integrates academic excellence with moral and spiritual development.

During the ceremony, Bishop Emmanuel Adewale, who presided over the event, emphasized the importance of the school in nurturing future leaders. “Blessed Carlo Acutis Catholic School will not only provide excellent education but also instill in our children the values of faith, integrity, and service,” he said. “We are committed to creating an environment where students can grow intellectually, spiritually, and morally.”

The project has garnered significant support from the local community and various stakeholders. Parents, educators, and community leaders have expressed their enthusiasm for the new school, highlighting its potential to make a lasting impact on the lives of young people in the region.

Construction is expected to be completed by mid-2026, with the first cohort of students anticipated to begin classes in September of the same year. The school will feature state-of-the-art facilities, including modern classrooms, science and computer labs, a library, sports facilities, and a chapel.

The Blessed Carlo Acutis Catholic School is poised to become a cornerstone of the community, providing a nurturing and supportive environment for students to thrive. As construction progresses, the excitement and anticipation continue to build, with many looking forward to the positive contributions the school will make to the educational landscape in Lagos and beyond.
