Swigis founded in 2026. The vision for the school was developed by its founder, Mr Shaibu I. Gunu, with the encouragement and support of his daughter, Najat Shaibu Maltiti, an active member of the United States Army.
The school’s educational philosophy and programs were inspired by Najat experience within the United States Education system as well as her training through high school, Midwestern State University, and the University of Texas. These experiences helped shape a learning environment centered on academic excellence, leadership development, character building, and student success.
Today, Swigis Angels School is dedicated to providing high-quality early childhood education and building a strong foundation for lifelong learning. In a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment, the school strives to equip every child with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to thrive in the future.

SWIGIS TEST PREP ONLINE
How to Help Your Child Succeed With Pre-K through 5th Grade Test Prep
Standardized and cognitive assessments are an important part of the educational journey for students across the United States, the United Kingdom, and many countries throughout the world. From Pre-K through 5th grade, children may participate in a variety of evaluations designed to measure academic growth, learning readiness, problem-solving abilities, and overall progress.
Why Test Preparation Matters?
Test preparation plays an important role in helping students demonstrate their academic knowledge and cognitive abilities accurately. When students are familiar with assessment formats and expectations, they are better able to showcase what they truly know and can do.
Preparation is not about memorizing answers—it is about building confidence, strengthening foundational skills, and developing effective test-taking habits.
Purpose of These Assessments
For Teachers:
Assessments provide valuable data that helps educators:
1. Measure student academic growth
2. Identify learning strengths and areas needing support
3. Adjust classroom instruction to meet student needs
4. Track progress throughout the school year.
For Students:
The greatest benefit comes when preparation enables students to demonstrate their true abilities.
Effective test preparation helps students:
1. Approach assessments with confidence
2. Understand test directions and question formats
3. Reduce anxiety and stress
4. Focus on solving problems rather than worrying about the testing process
Benefits of Test Preparation.
Proper test preparation serves multiple purposes:
Builds Confidence.
Students who practice regularly become more comfortable with assessment formats and expectations, increasing confidence on test day
Reduces Test Anxiety.
Familiarity with question types and testing procedures helps students remain calm and focused during assessments.
Improves Performance.
Preparation allows students to demonstrate their actual academic abilities without being limited by unfamiliar test formats or weak test-taking skills.
Strengthens Core Academic Skills.
Regular practice reinforces essential reading, mathematics, language, and critical-thinking skills that support classroom success.
Encourages a Growth Mindset.
Students learn that improvement comes through practice, effort, and persistence, building lifelong learning habits.
Year-Round Test Prep Matters.
Successful preparation is not limited to a few weeks before a test. Consistent year-round practice creates a bridge between school years and helps students maintain academic momentum.
Benefits of year-round preparation include:
1. Smoother transitions between grade levels.
2. Increased academic confidence.
3. Stronger retention of key skills.
4. Reduced learning loss during school breaks.
5. Better readiness for future assessments.
By practicing throughout the year, students stay engaged, continue developing critical skills, and return to school prepared to succeed.
