At Victoria Children's School, every day is structured, joyful and confidence-building. For fifty-five years we have been a nurturing home for the earliest years of learning, from creche to Primary 6, and the first step towards our sister school, Victoria High School.
Creche, Playgroup and Nursery designed for safety, warmth and the joy of first discoveries.
A structured national curriculum enriched with a global outlook, critical thinking and creativity.
Coding and robotics, music, art, dance, chess, debate, football and other sports.
Victoria Children’s School opened in 1971 with a handful of pupils and a conviction I believe was given to me by divine inspiration, and in 2001 Victoria High School grew from that same conviction. Fifty-five years on for the one, and twenty-five for the other, it has not changed: give a child sound character, a rigorous education and a reason to believe in themselves, and they will hold their own anywhere in the world.
From our first classroom on Rafiu Baruwa Street to the school you see today, Victoria Children’s School has been a reference point for primary education in Ijeshatedo, across Surulere and beyond. Our pupils sit every external examination open to them, and their results have been consistently excellent.
Read her full messageEverything else a school can buy, from a laboratory to a coding room to a set of instruments, is only worth what the person standing in front of the class can do with it. Ours are qualified, long-serving, and still learning.
Graduates and specialists, rigorously selected, and kept through training rather than turnover.
Class teachers who know every child by name, supported by specialists in music, coding, French and PE.
Administration, welfare and a security team on the gate through every school day.
Victoria shaped my daughter into a confident young woman. The teachers know her, encourage her, and hold her to a standard we deeply respect.
From the moment we toured the campus, we knew. It is rare to find a school this warm, this safe, and this serious about learning.
Nursery and Primary share one campus on Imam Shuaib Street in Ijeshatedo. Visitors are welcome during school hours, and we would love you to come and see it for yourself.
Nursery and primary, answered.

Nursery runs from 8:00am to 1:00pm and Primary from 8:00am to 2:30pm, with supervised after-school care until 4:00pm.
