Welcome to Corona School Ikoyi

Our school offers a unique educational experience for all students by providing a curriculum which is unique to the Corona Schools. Our curriculum is a rich blend of the Nigerian curriculum and other major curricula in the world. It is robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that pupils need to compete successfully as global citizens.

We provide a positive, engaging, fun and continuous learning environment that stimulates and supports children in achieving their full potential. We have big ideas to bring out the best in each child and continually strive for excellence both morally and academically with a passion for national and global exposure.

We believe there is no dull child and every child has his/her area of smartness and strength, and as professionals ensure that no child is left behind in the learning process, thus  we help our children discover and develop their skills/talents, enabling them attain the full expressions of their potential and giftedness.

The development of the whole child is at the heart of the learning centre, so we teach our children to ‘Learn to Love’ and ‘Love to Learn’. Suffice it to say that we do not work alone but with a vibrant Parents Teachers Association (PTA) to keep the home/school link alive and in check.

I hope you find our school page both interesting and informative. We will be delighted to welcome you to our school where learning is magical and together everyone achieves more.
