The graduating class was also recognised for strong academic performance and active participation in regional and international learning opportunities, including Pan-African academic programmes that broadened their perspectives and strengthened their global outlook. Academically, the Class of 2026 was commended for its strong performance and participation in external academic platforms, including regional initiatives such as Pan-African programs.

During the ceremony, speakers underscored the importance of discipline, leadership, faith, and service as defining qualities of Wellspring Academy graduates, encouraging them to use their education to influence their professions and communities positively.

Throughout its 20-year journey, Wellspring Academy has remained committed to its mission of educating and equipping students to become highly skilled, Godly leaders, and agents of community transformation.

The school continues to equip learners with the knowledge, values, and skills needed to serve God and society with integrity and purpose.
