The various streams run by the school currently are: the Early Years, Grade School, High School and Enhancement Centre. The school has a tradition of hosting at least one major event each term, such as Career Day, Cultural Day, Custume Day, Sports Fiesta, End of year party, and Graduation Ceremony
The first pupil to graduate is Miss Stella Feboke who was also the valedictorian for 2014/2015. This was followed by Miss Elavivah Okoro, the valedictorian for the 2015/2016 academic session
The Vantage Point High School came on board on September 14, 2016 with the mission of being a school for the gifted and talented. It was opened to further enshrine the culture of VPA into pupils from the academy desiring to continue in the legendary values and qualitative education Vantage Point Academy stands for and it is open to students from all walks of life.
Part of the uniqueness of VPA is the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) programme done by the upper primary and high school students; it prepares them for entrepreneurial adventures in life. They are also taught skills like photography, fashion designing, baking and soap making with practical applicability
The Davids' Scholarship for high performing pupils in public schools from indigent backgrounds was instituted on December 14 , 2015 with the following as the first recipients: Miss Rachel Sunday, Miss Amarachukwu Madubike and Miss Kamsi Bianca Mc’Atico; they were granted admission into Vantage Point Academy and the scholarship spans into the completion of their Junior Secondary School Education.

The school only engages qualified teachers and assigns them to areas of best fit.
