Our Story

Hephzibah Vic's Montessori School began as a humble crèche, founded with love, passion, and a vision to nurture children in their early years. Over time, it blossomed into a full-fledged institution that embraces the Montessori philosophy, preparing children not only for academic excellence but also for life.

It was founded by Mrs. Bukola Victoria Akinjiyan, who had a passion for education and nurturing young minds. Over time, this initiative evolved from a small crèche-based program into a full-fledged Montessori school. The school is committed to growing and nurturing children to achieve excellence and become future global leaders.

Our History

Hephzibah Vics Montessori School began as a modest crèche, founded with love, dedication, and a clear vision to nurture children during their formative years. Over time, it evolved into a full-fledged Montessori institution grounded in excellence and holistic development.

Founded by Mrs. Bukola Akinjiyan, whose passion for education and child development inspired the school's creation, this initiative has grown from a small early-years programme into a reputable Montessori school.

Our Manifesto

"In a world rich in information yet hungry for wisdom, we are committed to raising not only intelligent children but also well-rounded individuals — thoughtful, compassionate, responsible, and resilient."

We believe every child is a seed of destiny. With the right environment, nurturing support, and patient guidance, each child can blossom beyond expectations.
