Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

The PTA nominating committee, made up of the former PTA President, VPs, and staff rep to the board, agreed that the 2020 PTA should continue as due to COVID they were unable to complete their tenure.  Since the PTA President relocated to UK, it was recommended that the PTA approve the original nomination of Mr. Eleshinnla who had declined in 2020, but has graciously agreed to accept the position this year.  


ACA Welcomes the PTA for 2021-2022 academic year 

Chair Mr. Eleshinnla (Parent)

Vice Chair Mrs. Raj (Teacher)

Treasurer Mrs. Gbadebo (Parent)

Vice Treasurer Mr. Adedokun (Teacher)

Farewell to our dear friend and colleague!

After 10 years of service, Mrs. Paul is relocating to India where her son Subin, one of our beloved students, is already enrolled in an A-level program. We thank her for her faithful service and wish her all the best in the future. The announcement was made public to the entire school community last Wednesday but at that time she was unsure of her exact departure date. We were informed on Friday that she would be leaving on Sunday. We regret the sudden notice but trust that you will be able to wish her well online!
