Thirty nine years of quietly building Nigeria's next leaders.
Hefshiba is a secondary school in Surulere where Nigerian roots meet a global outlook — and where every child is taught to think clearly, live kindly and work hard.

From one borrowed classroom to a colledge that hums.
As one of the best private schools in Lagos, Nigeria, we are committed to delivering quality education through a balanced approach that emphasizes academic excellence, strong moral values, discipline, and leadership development
At Hefshiba School, we focus on the holistic growth of every child, nurturing students to:
- Think critically and independently
- Act with compassion and integrity
- Serve purposefully in their families, communities, and the world
Our goal is to raise confident, responsible, and future-ready learners, making Hefshiba School a trusted choice for parents seeking a top secondary school in Lagos.
A note from the Proprietor.
“I started Hefshiba because I wanted somewhere I’d be proud to send my own children — a school that takes academics seriously without forgetting what childhood is.”
With more than two decades in Nigerian education and a deep belief in the Montessori approach, our CEO leads a team of teachers who share one obsession: that every Hefshiba graduate leaves us thoughtful, prepared and rooted in faith and character.
Her open-door policy is real. Parents are welcome — by appointment — to come and talk through anything that matters for their child’s growth.
— Mrs Atinuke Grace Oyenuga
Four values that quietly shape every school day.
Faith
Christian values lived out — not lectured. Service, honesty and gratitude shape daily school life.
Excellence
Aim high, work hard, finish well. We celebrate effort and craft — not just the final mark.
Community
Small classes. Open relationships. Teachers, parents and students rowing in the same direction.
Integrity
The right thing, even when no-one is watching. We teach character the long, patient way.
