About us

We're here to help parents raise confident, capable young adults ready for tomorrow's world.

Because your child's education should prepare them for real life, not just the next grade.

At Thrive American College, we understand the weight of the decision you’re making. You want more than good grades. You want a school that sees your child’s potential and knows how to unlock it.

We combine rigorous academics with the skills that actually matter: critical thinking, creativity, leadership, and adaptability. Our students don’t just memorize facts; they build projects, solve problems, and develop the confidence to take on challenges most teens never get to experience.

When your child graduates from Thrive, they won’t just be ready for college—they’ll be ready for whatever life throws at them.

Founder & Head of School

Bankole Abejide, originally from Ado Ekiti, Nigeria and based in Canada, founded Thrive American College because he believes every student deserves an education that actually prepares them for life.

Through his work with the Bankole Abejide Foundation, he’s seen how the right education transforms not just individuals, but entire communities.

Thrive American College is his answer to a simple question: what if high school prepared students for the real world, not just the next test?

Our mission is simple: equip every student with not just knowledge, but with the confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills they need to succeed in any future they choose.

What parent say

As a Nigerian mother, I'm very particular about education, and this school meets my standards. My daughter is thriving here, truly thriving. I tell all my friends: this is where you send your child if you want them to be excellent.
