At just 16, Jennifer Obianuju Nwankwo has shown us what’s possible when passion meets preparation. With a UTME score of 340, she’s not just making headlines,she’s making history, and we are proud to be part of her journey.

At Hope Jon International school, excellence is not a coincidence, it’s a culture. And once again, that culture has produced a moment worth celebrating.

We are delighted to share the inspiring success story of one of our students, Miss Jennifer Obianuju Nwankwo, who scored an exceptional 340 in the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), all at the remarkable age of 16.

While high scores are not new in the UTME space, Jennifer’s journey stands out because it reflects something deeper: consistency, discipline, and an academic foundation deliberately built to unlock potential. Her achievement is not just a personal milestone, it is a reflection of the learning environment we have created, where students are taught to rise beyond expectations.

Our Director, Mrs. Joy Uche, described her reaction as “a mix of joy, pride, and humble reflection.” In her words, “Jennifer’s performance reminded me that when young minds are nurtured with the right tools, guidance, and belief, they will always surprise you and sometimes, overwhelm you.”

Behind this result lies months of preparation, mentorship, and a school community that refuses to settle for average. Jennifer’s performance reinforces the message we tell every student who walks through our gates: you are capable of greatness; start acting like it today.

This is more than a score. It is a reminder that the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and changemakers are already being shaped right here.

We are proud of Jennifer, and even more proud of the system that continues to produce students like her. This is the standard. And we’re just getting started.
