About Oxroad Schools
Welcome to Oxroad International School (OIS)
Located in the heart of Ikeja, Lagos, Oxroad School is a vibrant and nurturing learning community that blends creche, nursery, and primary education to provide a strong foundation for every child’s future.
At OIS, we believe that every child deserves a quality education—one that not only fosters academic excellence but also builds strong character, creativity, and essential life skills. Our curriculum is carefully designed to be both engaging and holistic, encouraging curiosity, independence, and a love for learning from an early age.
We are proud to have a dedicated team of qualified, passionate, and caring educators who understand that the early years of a child’s education are crucial. They go beyond teaching by creating a safe, inclusive, and stimulating environment where children are empowered to explore, grow, and thrive.
With a focus on values, excellence, and leadership, our mission is to give every child the perfect head start in life academically, socially, and spiritually. At Oxroad, our commitment to excellence is not just a goal; it is the very foundation of everything we do.
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
We observed children passing 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 their optimal development.
