Global Connections and Exchange

At Golden Links, we have developed partnerships with outstanding and excellent schools in the United Kingdom to create various learning experiences for international schools both for teachers and students. We facilitate student exchange programmes, peer support programmes (teacher to teacher mentoring) global networking with students and teachers in the United Kingdom, international summer work experience opportunities and summer enrichment programmes. These programmes and options are available across the United Kingdom and Europe

The Global Schools Connect Programme is an exciting opportunity as Nigerian Schools will be collaborating with a partner school in the United Kingdom. This robust programme focuses on students, teachers and the school's cross-country collaboration.
