Overview of the Foundation

Ikota Educational Foundation

Ikota Educational Foundation (IEF) is a not-for-profit NGO that runs three schools in Lagos and Enugu States, Nigeria, serving over 3,000 families and engaging 250 education professionals in the formation of about 1,400 students.

The mission of IEF schools is to provide students with a well-rounded formation—human, intellectual, cultural, spiritual, moral, aesthetic, and physical—within an environment that fosters both personal freedom and responsibility.

Guided by an innovative vision of education rooted in Christian humanism and personalized attention, we affirm that parents hold the natural and primary responsibility for their children's upbringing. For this reason, all our school programs and operations are designed to support and strengthen this foundational role of the family.
