About Oxroad School
Providing an authentic Montessori education since 2012
Our Mission
At Oxroad School, we are dedicated to providing an authentic Montessori education that fosters independence, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning in a nurturing and inclusive environment.
We believe in the development of the whole child—physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively—and strive to create a community where children can explore, discover, and grow at their own pace.
Our Vision
We envision a world where children grow into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals who are equipped to face the challenges of tomorrow with creativity, resilience, and a deep respect for themselves, others, and the environment.
Our History
Oxroad school located in the heart of Ikeja, Lagos, is a mix of nursery and Primary School that offers quality education and care to every child. We provide a well-rounded education that enables our students to develop vital life skills and excel academically. At OIS, we have a team of well-trained and responsible staff members who are passionate about giving your children the perfect head-start in their academic journeys. Our commitment to excellence is unwavering, and it remains our driving force.
The Montessori Approach
Child-Centered Learning
The Montessori approach recognizes that children learn best when they are free to follow their natural interests and curiosity. Our classrooms are designed to support self-directed learning, with teachers serving as guides who observe and support each child's unique developmental journey.
Prepared Environment
Our classrooms are carefully designed to meet the developmental needs of children at each stage. Materials are arranged on low, accessible shelves, and are designed to isolate specific skills and concepts. The environment encourages independence, concentration, and a sense of order.
Sensitive Periods
Dr. Montessori observed that children pass through specific periods when they are particularly receptive to certain types of learning. Our teachers are trained to recognize these sensitive periods and provide appropriate materials and experiences to support optimal development.
