About Penielfield Private Schools (PPS)

Building Future Leaders Through Excellence in Education

Our Story

Penielfield Private Schools was born from a vision in 2013 and began its journey with a summer program in August 2019. Full academic operations commenced on September 16, 2019. Since then, PPS has grown into one of the most sought-after schools in Lagos and Ogun States, thanks to our rich curriculum and the exceptional academic performance of our pupils. We understand how children grow and learn—and we recognize the powerful impact of a nurturing environment. Every classroom is designed to be conducive to learning, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and modern teaching strategies. Our educators are grounded in subject mastery and use pragmatic, child-centred approaches to teaching. At PPS, we hold high standards and great expectations. We do not compromise on quality. Our goal is to raise morally upright and academically excellent individuals who will become BETTER adults and global citizens.

Our Mission

To deliver well-rounded qualitative education, with good character, a high sense of self-discipline, dedicated service to humanity, and global integration through shared commitments.

Our Aim

is to nurture GLOBAL CHILDREN , believing that if they are BETTER adults, they will fit in globally. Academics without high potential, attributes, and boldness to tackle the world's challenges amount to nothing. Succinctly, our focus is that a child's education must be qualitative enough to build the skills to excel in life's real feat. Our children must be knowledgeable and have a feat of strength, civility, and fearless heart to navigate the challenges and trials of life.
