Every child carries within them the seeds of greatness. Our role is simply to nurture the right conditions for those seeds to flourish.

It is a privilege to welcome you to Crestview Academy, a school that has, for over three decades, held firm to a belief that excellence and warmth are not competing values, but inseparable ones. Whether you are a current family, a prospective parent, or simply someone curious about who we are, I am glad you are here.

When I first joined Crestview twelve years ago, what struck me most was not the results, although they have always been strong, but the quality of the relationships, between teachers and students, between the school and families, and among the students themselves. That relational culture is not incidental to our success; it is the foundation of it. Children learn best when they feel safe, known, and genuinely valued, and that is what we strive to provide every single day.

98%

of our 2025 SS3 graduates achieved five credits including English and Mathematics in WAEC, a result we are proud of, but never complacent about.

Academically, we hold our students to high standards because we believe they are capable of meeting them. Our WAEC results speak for themselves, but what they do not capture is the debate student who finds her voice in JSS2, the quiet boy who discovers a love of mathematics in Primary 5, or the young artist who sees the world differently because a teacher took the time to notice. These are the moments that define a Crestview education.

Beyond the classroom, our co-curricular life is rich and intentional. From our Inter House Sports Day to our annual Cultural Showcase, our STEM clubs to our student led community service projects, we want every child to find something here that is uniquely theirs, something that builds confidence, character, and a sense of belonging.

As we mark another exciting chapter in our school’s history, our commitment remains unchanged: to provide a rigorous, joyful education that builds not just scholars, but young people of integrity, empathy, and ambition. We do not measure success only in examination grades, we measure it in the kind of people our students become.

To families who have trusted us with their children for years: thank you. Your partnership is what makes this school what it is. To those considering Crestview for the first time: we warmly invite you to visit us, walk our grounds, meet our teachers, and see for yourself the community we have built together.

There is no better way to understand who we are than to experience it in person.

Our History

Three Decades of Shaping Lives

Founded in 1994, Crestview Academy began as a small nursery school with a powerful belief, that every child deserves a world class education regardless of where they grow up. Today that belief has grown into a full K-12 institution trusted by families across Lagos.
