Welcome to Olashore International School (OIS).
It is with great pride and a deep sense of responsibility that I welcome you to the official website of Olashore International School. I am delighted that you have taken the time to learn more about our school, and I trust this introduction will provide you with meaningful insight into the unique educational experience we offer.
Situated in the serene town of Iloko, Osun State, Nigeria, Olashore International School is a co-educational full boarding institution set on over 60 acres of beautiful, secure grounds. Our environment is carefully designed to nurture learning, growth, and community. Alongside our modern boarding houses, we provide first-class facilities including accommodation for staff and their families, a fully functional water treatment plant, a private stadium, a swimming pool, courts for basketball, badminton, and volleyball, FIFA-standard football pitches to support our Football Academy, and two new indoor recreational arenas. These facilities are not just structures, they represent our commitment to offering a balanced, holistic education where academics, sports, creativity, and personal development thrive together in harmony.
At OIS, students aged 10 to 17 are immersed in a dual curriculum: a robust UK curriculum alongside the Nigerian curriculum. This blend ensures that our students gain both international perspectives and strong local grounding. Our team of dedicated, highly qualified educators bring learning to life, adapting to the diverse needs of our students while nurturing their aspirations. By the time they graduate in Year 12, our students are fully prepared to excel in the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and the West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
Building on this strong foundation, we are proud to announce our recent partnership with the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) programme, a Canadian high school qualification recognised by leading universities across the globe, including in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Malaysia, and beyond. With this partnership now fully active at OIS, our students can earn an internationally recognised diploma without leaving Nigeria, further expanding their opportunities for global university admissions and future success.
Yet, education at OIS extends beyond the classroom. We place a strong emphasis on leadership, self-confidence, and character development. Through sports, creative pursuits, and leadership opportunities, our students learn resilience, collaboration, and empathy. Equally, our commitment to strong pastoral care, child well-being, child protection, and safeguarding is top-notch and stands as one of the core pillars of the OIS culture. This holistic approach ensures that every child feels safe, supported, and empowered to thrive. It is no surprise that our alumni stand tall as accomplished professionals and leaders across the globe, a true testament to the enduring impact of the OIS experience.
With over 30 years of history behind us, we continue to build on a strong legacy of shaping futures and nurturing leaders, guided by the vision of our founder, Oba Oladele Olashore, CON. His legacy continues to inspire us as we nurture the leaders of tomorrow. In line with this vision, we are embracing a future-oriented, skill-based learning approach. Our recently established digital hub empowers students with critical 21st-century skills, fueling their curiosity, creativity, and readiness for success in an ever-changing world.
I warmly invite you to visit our campus and experience the vibrant spirit of our community. Until then, I encourage you to explore our website to gain deeper insights into what makes Olashore International School a truly exceptional place for learning and personal growth.
Warm regards,
