Preston International School

The school is founded on Christian principles and a commitment to social change, viewing service to God and humanity as the highest level of achievement. It aims to replace a "scarcity mentality" with an "abundance mentality," fostering a community where every student is encouraged to succeed. The school motto, "WE ARE ABLE!", reflects its mission to raise well-rounded, God-fearing, and patriotic leaders who contribute positively to society.

The academic programme blends the Nigerian 6-3-3-4 system with the British National Curriculum. At the Junior Secondary (JSS) level, students study subjects including English, Mathematics, Science, ICT, and various languages. Senior Secondary (SSS) students prepare for Nigerian SSCE exams, as well as IGCSE and Cambridge GCE O’Level qualifications, with a broad range of subjects including Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, and Financial Accounting.

The school implements an "Every Child Matters" agenda, which includes the creation of an Individual Education Plan (I.E.P.) for every student. Teachers conduct detailed diagnostic assessments to identify areas of weakness and provide targeted support to ensure each child makes progress beyond expected levels.

The school offers an online admission process for prospective students. It provides information regarding entrance exams, scholarship opportunities, and school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session. International students are also welcomed to apply.

The school maintains a calendar of events that includes academic milestones, student leadership installations, and various extracurricular activities. Notable events include the annual Prefects' Installation Ceremony, inter-house sports competitions, and participation in external leadership summits.

Situated on a 42-acre campus in the countryside near Akure, the school features purpose-built facilities including 33 classrooms, three science laboratories, and four networked ICT rooms.
