Ikota Educational Foundation
Our History

Who We Are

The Ikota Educational Foundation (IEF), a non-profit with schools in Lagos and Enugu, has helped shape the lives of more than 3,400 students from over 3,000 families in Nigeria. Backed by more than 180 education professionals, the foundation provides an integral formation that goes beyond academics, cultivating character, culture, faith, and responsibility.

Guided by Christian humanism and a personalized approach, IEF emphasizes the family’s central role in education, structuring its programs to strengthen parents as the first educators of their children.
