HERALD COLLEGE, ODORU WATERSIDE NSUKKA

MOTTO:- UNRAVEL THE MYSTERY

Herald College as it is known today started out as a research outfit. Located on top of the gentle incline of Odoru Nuskka, the quite and refreshing enclave of the then “Herald Research Center” provided the clean air and scenery that could inspire any mind that thirsts and hungers for the unknown. In time findings from scientific exploits built up and it dawned on the man in the forefront of the expedition, as it were, that every existing scientific theory seeks to explain an action, situation or phenomenon.

With joy welled up in his heart, he struck a conclusion that a phenomenon must be observed and knwon before we start seeking explanation for it. Hitherto, he observed that in much of black Africa, students strive to learn the scientific theories first, then if ever the practical (i.e. observing the phenomenon) later.

This explains why science had been difficult and unreal to many students in the aforementioned region of the world.

To reverse this approach to study of science and thus make science real, he dreamt of upgrading the establishment to a school. On 23^rd September 2013, the dream came alive. Yes Herald College was born! With twenty five students in JS1 and ten students in SS1, teaching and learning took off. The young school had about seven members of tutorial staff and two members of non-tutorial staff. Since then, the school has witnessed marginal annual growth and development as reflected in increase in the number and quality of students and staff. In the few years that followed, the increase was arithmetic in trend but in the recent years it has been geometric. All thanks and glory to the maker of this physical world which continues to thrill us as we continue to explore it through science practised in a way that shows complete submission to his will as expressed in laws of creation.

VISION AND MISSION OF HERALD COLLEGE

Life and all that preserve it depend on knowledge, true knowledge to be specific. Even the creator of life holds fast to the rules of its preservation. It takes recreation to change the rules. When we learn the rules and apply them, we live; otherwise we die.

We could learn by revelation, science, intuition and other means. Creation reveals the will of the creator. When we observe creation, we learn more and more each time. Personal experience confirms that over time life gets better and longer with every bit of knowledge of creation, when applied. Practice of science is the same as learning by observation. One could imagine and visualize a world in which all inhabitants learn the will of creator through what is created. The result would be life in abundance. This sentiment formed the bedrock upon which the tower called Herald College was built.

So far, we have seen this sentiment gain flesh as in obvious in volume and quality passed to over numerous students, then the quality of life they lead.

We are out to popularize this method of learning as far as the boundary of humanity.
