Brief History
Claret Academy Secondary School Garriki is a catholic educational institute established, organized and directly administered by the East-Nigeria Province of the Congregation of Missionaries, Sons of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary, otherwise known as the Claretian Missionaries. Claret Academy was formally opened in September 2015 and is one of the Group of Claret Schools in Nigeria. The Title "Claret" was given to it to uphold the memory of the founder of our congregation and patron saint, St. Anthony Mary Claret; and again "Academy" because of the intended plan to develop the school system that will encompass nursery, primary into secondary and tertiary levels of education, perhaps with different campuses in several places. Claret Academy Secondary Garriki is one of such campuses.
The purpose of the school is to impart knowledge and education to minors as a contribution to the development effort of the Catholic Church and the Nigerian government in the formation of children and youth of the country and beyond. Given the rapid growth of the school, Claret Academy Garriki has been officially licensed by appropriate government authorities to run both the junior and senior secondary schools. Our school is also fully approved by WAEC & NECO for active participation in both the junior and senior national and international examination. The school has graduated students in these exams all with impeccable results.
