Message from the Proprietress
Lakefield schools officially started in September 2020. This was a dream come true and I feel fulfilled that feat was achieved within a space of 10 months of operation.
The decision to initiate this project was borne out of my passion and love for children and their well-being.
I am convinced that our children can compete favourably with their counterparts in the developed countries, only disadvantaged by the warped educational system and lethargic attitude of the government and school owners; this gap I intend to fill with the establishment of this learning institution.
It’s either the best or nothing. In manpower deployment, pedagogy, teaching aids, facilities, and infrastructure provision, we aspire and remain resolutely committed to offering the best and nothing but the best.

Welcome to Our World
Of all the definitions and explanations of what education is, the most striking and the most thought provoking is the one by the American Educator and Philosopher, John Dewey (1859-1952).
In a most analytical but terse and concise summation, he postulated: “Education is not preparation for life; it is life itself.”
It is this profound but pithy definition of education that informed the conception and eventual birth of this centre of knowledge acquisition for the child and the adolescent.
Education, truly, is life. And life remains the most precious asset as it has no duplicate. For us at Lakefield, the value we place on life is the same value we place on educating your ward.
Our creed here is: it’s either the best or nothing. In manpower deployment, teaching aids, facilities and infrastructure provision, we remain resolutely committed to offering the best and nothing but the best.
Here at Lakefield, we are not just preparing your ward for life’s future challenges, we are nurturing and moulding them to take life on and conquer its many vissiccitudes.
Our pact with you as parents and guardians is to train, nurture and mentor your ward to evolve as a well-rounded individual and to emerge as a truly educated individual in intellect and character. On this, we will not fail you.
We invite you today to join us on this lofty and noble journey by partnering with us in our resolve to gift our nation, and indeed, humanity, the best educated individuals that any society can look forward to.
Lakefield Schools, we pledge, will offer your ward the best learning experience and we will never break our covenant with you.
This is our creed.
Welcome to Our World.
Our Philosophy:
Happy Children and Happy Parents
The school curriculum embraces all aspects of personal growth-aesthetic, creative, human and social, moral and spiritual, scientific, mathematical, technological, and physical.
From The Head of Schools
Lakefield is a unique school that provides a caring, serene, secure, and friendly environment for children with diverse abilities. Opportunities are provided for each child to unfold. Our activities are designed to foster self-confidence, self-discipline, handwork, respect, and cooperation. The worth, dignity and creative ability of every child are recognized.
Our sporting facilities are second to none. Children’s latent potential can be nurtured to fullness. Central to our school is its academic life. Academic excellence is a goal we strive hard to maintain by taking advantage of our committed, qualified, and experienced staff working in a stimulating learning environment. A visit to our school will be more revealing. That is why the staff and pupils join me in extending an invitation to you to come and see us in action.
