Holy Child has been a beacon of academic excellence and character formation since 1987.
In 1987, a group of visionary educators led by Dr. Adebayo Okafor founded Holy Child with a single mission: to build a school where every child could reach their full potential — academically, morally, and socially.
From a modest beginning with 42 students in Sapele, we have grown into one of Nigeria's most respected secondary schools, with over 1,200 students, 50 qualified teachers, and alumni in the world's top universities.
Today, Holy Child stands as a testament to what is possible when passion, discipline, and excellence come together.
To provide a world-class secondary education that develops intellectually curious, morally upright, and socially responsible young Nigerians ready to lead in a global society.
To be among the most trusted secondary school — a place where every child is known, every talent is nurtured, and every graduate is prepared for excellence beyond the classroom.
