Our story
From one classroom in 1998 to two campuses today
1998
It began with one classroom and twelve pupils
Greater Tommorrow Schools was founded by Dr and Mrs Okafor, two teachers who believed that a Nigerian school could stand alongside the best in the world while keeping its roots at home.
The first classroom had twelve pupils, one blackboard and a library of donated books. The motto they chose, Light and Excellence, still hangs above every classroom door.
