It seems you are right about Baptacad, if we overlook its origins as a kindergarten school

My son has just gotten JSS1 admission into Saint Gregory's College, Lagos after passing the entrance and interview. I have always admired that school. He is also on course to pass the NCEE interview into Kings college, Lagos. Still not yet made up my mind on which to go for between Saint Gregory and Kings College.

Btw, iam a product of the Unity schoool having gone to a a Federal Government college.
