The Four H’s
At DeRight Academy, we follow a holistic educational approach rooted in the Four H’s – Head, Heart, Hands, and Help. This framework ensures our students are not only skilled but also purpose-driven and fully supported.
- Head – Intellectual Rigor
- Heart – Character & Compassion
- Hands – Practical Skills
- Help – Support & Opportunity

Head – Intellectual Rigor
We build sharp minds by fostering critical thinking, innovation, and problem-solving skills. Our programs equip students with the knowledge and cognitive tools needed to adapt in an ever-changing world.
-
Heart – Character & Compassion
Education at DeRight goes beyond skills. We instill emotional intelligence, ethics, empathy, and resilience. Our graduates are not only capable but also compassionate leaders and collaborators.
-
Hands – Practical Skills
Our core strength lies in vocational excellence. Through hands-on training led by veteran artisans, our students develop real-world competencies in fields such as construction, ICT, renewable energy, and fashion design.
-
Help – Support & Opportunity
We recognize that learning must be accessible. Beyond our internal mentorship and support structures, we actively help trainees leverage federal support programs such as the Industrial Training Fund’s Skill-Up Artisans Program and the Federal Ministry of Education’s TVET Initiative. Through these partnerships, we help bridge the gap between individual effort and societal opportunity, ensuring that no learner is left behind due to financial or systemic barriers.
