Practicals

Our Practical Learning Experience

At Zenith Group of Schools, Cotonou, we believe that students learn best through active engagement and real-life application. Beyond classroom teaching, we provide a wide range of practical sessions designed to build confidence, deepen understanding, and develop hands-on skills that prepare students for the future.

1. Science Laboratory Practicals (Chemistry, Biology & Physics)

Our well-structured science practicals allow students to explore, observe, and experiment directly.

  • Chemistry practicals help learners understand reactions, mixtures, titration, acid–base experiments, and laboratory safety.

  • Biology practicals expose students to microscopy, specimen observation, cell studies, and ecological investigations.

  • Physics practicals strengthen their understanding of motion, electricity, magnetism, light, and measurement tools.
    These sessions turn theory into real experience, making science exciting and relatable.

2. Computer and ICT Practical Sessions

In a technology-driven world, digital skills are essential. Our ICT lab provides hands-on training in:

  • Basic computer operations

  • Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint

  • These practicals empower students to use technology confidently in academics and future careers.

3. Creative Arts & Crafting Workshops

We encourage creativity through practical crafting activities such as:

  • Drawing and painting

  • Handcrafts and beadwork

Sewing basics

  • Card making and decorative art
    These sessions build imagination, problem-solving ability, and fine motor skills while allowing students to express their creativity.

4. Technical and Vocational Skills

To support the development of a total child, we integrate practical skill-based activities such as:
