WHO WE ARE

A school built on one founding idea.

That every child, given structure and warmth in equal measure, can be trusted to become all they can be.

OUR STORY

Forty-nine years of showing forth the light.

Chrisland Schools Limited was founded on 3 October 1977 by educationist High Chief Dr. (Mrs.) Winifred Adefolahan Awosika, OON, at Ikeja, Lagos. What began as a single nursery and primary school has grown into West Africa’s largest private educational institution, teaching learners from crèche through Cambridge A Levels across sixteen campuses.

We are dedicated to the general advancement of humanity through quality education, dedicated service and total commitment. The light is our focus. Love is our sustenance.
