To many, Yetonsiaa Model Schools are one of the leading schools in the heart of Port Harcourt, which enjoys a reputation built on the achievements of the past. Products of Yetonsiaa Model Schools have gone on to excel in other schools and Universities. We strive to enjoy regular contact with other major schools in Port Harcourt and Nigeria in a variety of cultural and sporting activities. 
Yetonsiaa Model Schools take pride in students’ social, moral, spiritual and emotional development., in addition to our traditional interest in academic proficiency. We provide opportunities for each student to grow as an individual and realize his unique potential through the achievement of realistic self-set goals. We educate for life in a changing society through the development of a social conscience and the recognition of the importance and dignity of every human-being, regardless of status or religion. 
Yetonsiaa cultivate in our youths a love and understanding of our country and a desire to participate intelligently in solving its problems. Our students socialize within a school climate with mutual respect, happy and friendly interactions. 
We pride ourselves on a curriculum that both enables our pupils to achieve exceptionally good examination results but, more importantly, we also engage students in the excitement of learning in the wider world. Our pupils grow up to be independent, thoughtful and well-rounded individuals who are, confident in their ability to question, analyse and express opinions.
Our motto, sempa paratus, is reflected in our readiness to deal with life challenges. We give our pupils a range of opportunities designed to help them to discover themselves, to challenge themselves (and be challenged!), to succeed, and to see failure as a learning experience. Through a vast and varied range of learning opportunities our children are able to develop their talents and discover new ones both in and outside of the classroom within an accepting community that encourages everyone to be exactly what they are and become the best version of themselves.
