Our History

The Story We Tell

Div-Help school was founded on 8th of September, 2012 but started its operational Academic calendar on Monday, 17th September of the same year. The school took off with nineteen (19) pupils and five members (5) of staff.  The nineteen pupils were enrolled into the kindergarten and grade classes following this class specifications;

  • Toddler   1  =  5 pupils
  • Toddler   2 =  2 pupils
  • Nursery   1 =  1 pupil
  • Nursery   2 =  5 pupils
  • Grade       1 =  None
  • Grade      2 =  1 pupil
  • Grade      3 =  4 pupils
  • Grade      4 =  None
  • Grade      5 =  1 pupil

Since the inception, the school’s dynamic environment has continued to evolve. Soon after the school began, the growth was rapid that in just one term, the enrollment doubled. In July 2013, the school had graduated Ten (10) graduand, 2 from Grade 5, and 8 from nursery 2.

In 2013/2014 Academic session, the school’s enrollment exponential increased, with additional building at 9 Olayinka Allen, off Arowojobe Oshodi, Lagos State, thereby, moving the Grade classes into it, while the Nursery arm or the school inhabited the entire building. In the same year, the school administration began the rigorous authorization process that would permit the school to obtain the highly respected approval letter offered by the Lagos State Ministry of Education

In 2014, the school got approved and as well began another authorization process of acquiring the letter or permission to become a member of schools with the license to conduct State common Entrance Examination also known as Continuous Assessment Scones (CAS)

In 2015, the school became an accredited member with clear define school code and our second graduating class became the first recipient of the Primary School Certificate offered by the Lagos State Ministry of Education with clear pass.

Furthermore, as the school continues to revolve, then came another escalating increase following the 2015/2016 academic year enrolment, this actually made the management of the school and the body of administrator to go search of another building in which the spillover would be well accommodate: considering the danger and effect of an over populated classroom. As the growth of the school increases with high rate of graduating class, then the need to establish the college arm of the school emerged. Still on the success story of the school, came the birth of  Div-Help College on Monday 19th September 2016 with a separate building kick off at 9, Oribiyi Street Off Arowojobe Oshodi Lagos State. The college arm of the school started  its academic operation that same year with 26 students being enrolled into Grade 7 & Grade 8 respectively. Moreover in 2016 the primary arm of the school spread into the down floor of the college building following another rapid increase and enrollment.

The mission of the Founder was to use wall articulated and  structured based curricular and programmes to inculcate discipline, dedication to duty, creativity, patriotism to our fatherland, service to God and humanity in Nigerian Youths Soon after the establishment, words started spreading again, in just a space of one year, the enrollment doubled as usual.

In January 2017, the school administration began another authorization process that would permit the college arm of the school to obtain her approval.  Inline with the criteria for obtaining this approval, the need of construction of special rooms which eventually led to the vacation of the primary arm of the building thereby leaving the entire building for the college body alone.

After going through a thorough and rigorous inspection from the staff of the Ministry of Education and the Quality Assurance, the college finally got its, approval to operate as a private secondary school on 1st October, 2014. This success story eventually paved way for the approval of the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) to be conducted in the school on 12th February, 2020 As if that was not enough on 27th January, 2021, wonderful and astonishing news emanated that the school has been given approval to conduct WASSCE. Few months later, the school was once again accredited to conduct NECO SSCE and NECO BEC. All these feats were achieved for the school to be able to present students as internal candidate for external examination while giving the school a pedigree of provenance among her competitors.

As time went on the management of the school deemed it fit to run a boarding school whose objective is to adequately organize and prepare the SS3 students for WASSCE and NECO. So far, this idea has been a success story as the records are there for all and sundry to see. The boarding school boasts of state-of-the-art facilities, down to earth hostel masters and mistresses brain building meal and profound teachers who reaffirm their unflinching commitment in molding the intellectual capacity of the students.

However, as the college arm of the school was encountering this growth, the primary section was not left out as there was never any stage of stagnancy with them. This could be seen in another growth during 2017/2018 Academic Year Enrollment. As a result of this growth an individual Annex was required at No. 5 Edun Street Oshodi Lagos to property accommodate our pupils

Due to the rapid growth of the college, that the Junior Secondary School was separated from the Senior Secondary School so that the students can have a conducive learning environment. A massive building was purchased by the School management at 21, Orona Street, off Owoseni Street, Oshodi Lagos and school activities took off there on 10th January, 2022.

And so, we are located at the following streets;

  • 33, Arowojobe Street, Opp. Addide Supermarket Oshodi (Toddlers and Nursery)
  • 16, Orobiyi Street, off Arowojobe Oshodi, Lagos State (Crèche and Grade pupils)
  • 5, Edun Street, Oshodi Lagos State (Grades pupils)
  • 21, Orona Sheet off Owoseni, Oshodi (Junior Secondary School)
  • 9, Orobiyi Street off Arowojobe Oshodi. Lagos State (Senior Secondary School Students)
  • 9, Olayinka Allen, off Arowojobe Oshodi Lagos State (Boarding House)

As we speak the schools population has immensely increased . All through this time, the school community has remained committed to creating an environment in which students and pupils are known, supported, challenged and encouraged to grow.  And today, we have celebrated (10years for Primary) and (6years for College) anniversary of success and exponential growth in Div Help Schools.

These achievements are a testament to the unwavering commitment to the school’s core values and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Through it all, the Lord stood by us.
