Our heritage

Our roots go back to 1991

What began as a small dream in Ifako-Ijaiye has grown into one of Lagos's most trusted nursery and primary schools. For 35 years, generations of families have chosen Starfield, and many of today's parents were once Starfield pupils themselves. Our eyes are on tomorrow.

What our families say

I am a proud member of Starfield's Class of '94, and today I have the joy of watching my own children begin their journey at the same school. Starfield nurtured my love for reading, instilled independence and taught me the value of hard work, qualities that have stayed with me throughout my life. For me, Starfield is more than a school; it is a legacy I am proud to pass on.
