About Us

OUR STORY

Founded with Purpose. Built for Excellence.

 

Founded by Mr. Ayonyia Francis Agiopu, the school was established from a deep concern for children with potential who lacked access to quality education. Driven by the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive, the school was created to provide quality education to underprivileged children while contributing to the improvement of educational standards in Nigeria. Bearing in mind the United Nations charter on children that it is the right of every child to be educated, we felt that a school of high quality was to be established to absorb these unprivileged children and also to complement the basic federal government policy on education in the country

Mr. Ayonyia Francis Agiopu,

“The passion to see that the Nigerian child, poor and rich alike, is given the same quality of education as is obtainable
elsewhere.”
