History
The RFA Story
Royal Family Academy stands as a testament to the vision of Pastors Ina (late) and Sarah Omakwu. Established as a subsidiary of Family Ministries International (FMI), RFA is a co-educational Christian leadership school which began its journey with the inauguration of its nursery section on Friday, 27th September 2002 with an initial cohort of 29 pupils and 17 staff members. A year later in 2003, the primary section of the school commenced and subsequently evolved into the High School which was inaugurated on the 24th of September 2007. Presently, RFA exceeds a thousand pupils and students, supported by a dedicated team of qualified staff members.
From nursery to high school, RFA offers a comprehensive and rigorous curriculum that combines national and international standards. Central to this approach is the emphasis on leadership principles and a biblical worldview integrated across all subjects. RFA prioritizes holistic student development through a robust array of co-curricular activities. From intra and inter-school athletics to clubs and societies, from dance classes to enriching educational excursions, and from competing in both intra and inter-school academic competitions to attending mentorship seminars and symposiums, our diverse offerings cater to a wide spectrum of interests and talents. These ensure a well-rounded educational experience that support our learners to develop independence, resilience, and camaraderie.
With modern classroom technology, a cutting-edge sports center, expansive playgrounds, well-stocked libraries, ICT facilities, and an outdoor swimming pool, RFA provides a vibrant learning environment that aims to equip students from diverse backgrounds with the skills and mindset needed to effectively address the leadership challenges of our nation and the global community.
RFA has proudly achieved accreditation with the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), headquartered in Colorado Springs, USA. This accreditation validates our commitment to maintaining rigorous quality control measures and upholding global educational standards. Our membership with ACSI provides ongoing training opportunities for our educators, enabling them to seamlessly integrate world class pedagogy and biblical principles into their teaching methodologies.
Over the years, RFA has solidified its position as a cornerstone of academic excellence. Serving as an accredited center for international examinations, including the prestigious Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), RFA has long been a platform for students to demonstrate their abilities both nationally and globally.
Through our unwavering commitment to meticulous preparation strategies, the RFA 6th Form College was inaugurated on Wednesday 20th march 2024 to empower our students to achieve outstanding success in global examinations. Looking ahead, Royal Family Academy has commenced construction in the Daki-Biyu area of the Abuja Municipal Area Council. This pursuit underscores our commitment to providing state-of-the-art boarding facility and enriching the educational experience of our students.
