A bold inscription: At Ocean Crest, You are an important piece in our puzzle, welcome, crafted in different colours, ushers you into the big and beautiful school where Laduni Shonekan the Human Resources Manager, tells you world class citizens would be produced.

A purpose-built international school, it sits on a very large expanse of land on the Lekki west axis, less than five minutes drive from the first roundabout on Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Shonekan, who dumped her law degree to pursue a burning passion for education said: "We just opened our doors, parents should come in and see how far we can go in giving their children the best we can offer."

Describing the school as a little world, she said: "This is a world we have created for children to enjoy learning. Our motto is: where learning and discovery happen everyday. When they walk through the doors, they walk into a world that is created for them. Our world is built with a strong passion to nurture children, to teach them to become their own person. At the end of the day, when a child leaves Ocean Crest, we must have created a world class citizen. We want to nurture children who will fit in whereever they find themselves. That basically is our aim, trying to nurture a well rounded child".

Shonekan listed the core values of the school as excellence, team work, diversity, creativity, care and safety as well as strong partnership with parents. The facilities include beautifully decorated air-conditioned classrooms, ICT suite, interactive white board, a gymnasuim, state-of-the-art library, a sick bay that looks like a playroom, multi-purpose hall, a special needs unit, and tuck-shop/school supply store.

Conducting Daily Sun round the school, Shonekan explained that their classrooms have been specially designed to accommodate many worlds. "In every class, we are creating corners where you have little things going on like numeracy corners, block corners and reading corners. We have gone out of our way to make it exciting and interesting for them."

A stroll into the well-stocked library revealed a different world. Shonekan said: "In the library we have created a mini fantasy world, so it is exciting to go and read."
Speaking on curriculum, she said the school will run both British and Nigerian curricula. "We have come to realize that it is not okay to isolate the Nigerian curriculum in preference to the British, so that at the end of the day, they would be able to pass every contemporary examination.
