The Modern Foundation Academy in Kabala recently hosted its 7th Annual Preschool Graduation Ceremony, a vibrant and memorable occasion that celebrated the academic and developmental progress of more than 50 young learners. The school compound was filled with excitement as children dressed in colorful gowns marched proudly to the cheers of parents, guardians, and invited guests. The ceremony was marked by a series of lively performances, including songs, recitations of poems, and short drama presentations, all delivered confidently by the graduating pupils. These performances demonstrated not only their academic achievements but also the confidence and creativity instilled in them through the academy’s nurturing environment.
During the event, the headteacher delivered a heartfelt speech expressing immense pride in the accomplishments of the students and gratitude to the teaching staff for their unwavering commitment.

Many parents took the opportunity to share their experiences and express appreciation for the school’s efforts in nurturing their children. Some noted the noticeable behavioral and academic improvements they had seen in their children since joining the academy. One parent mentioned how the school’s holistic approach to education — which combines academic learning with character building — has made a positive impact on their child’s confidence and curiosity. These testimonials reinforced the value of preschool education as a strong pillar in community development, especially in rural settings like Kabala.
The event ended on a joyful note, with parents and children sharing refreshments, taking photographs, and engaging in lively conversations about the future. As the graduates prepare to move on to the next phase of their academic journey, the Modern Foundation Academy remains committed to its vision of empowering young minds through quality education. The success of the 7th graduation ceremony is not only a reflection of the students’ hard work but also a testament to the school’s ongoing dedication to early childhood development in Sierra Leone’s northern region.
