It was an honour to have the Head Instructor of Phostine Premium Schools, join Naija Street Matters podcast in person of Mrs Ogbu Lilian. She gave a heartfelt exposé to parents about the school’s vision and the special way they care for and guide children. It was an inspiring conversation that truly left us uplifted.
Since opening its doors in September 2016, Phostine has stood out for one simple reason: it doesn’t just teach children, it nurtures them to shine. Every detail of the school’s vision is clear. Education here is about more than just books, it’s about raising confident, disciplined, and inspired young leaders.
At Phostine, the learning experience is special. The school combines the British and Nigerian curricula with the best of Montessori practices, creating a balanced system that allows children to grow academically and personally. From as early as 15 months old, little ones are welcomed into a world of playful learning through the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). As they grow older, pupils are encouraged to stretch their abilities, whether in Spelling Bees, Science Olympiads, Mathematics competitions, or even Taekwondo. Each child is given room to discover talents and build self-belief.
Walking through the school, it’s easy to see why parents trust Phostine.
Phostine’s environment matches its academic vision. The school boasts of:
Air-conditioned classrooms and Montessori learning spaces
A functional library, ICT labs, and interactive whiteboards
A multipurpose hall, e-game library, and conference rooms
Sickbay, CCTV monitoring, and well-structured playgrounds
Reliable power supply and air-conditioned transport services
The environment is not just about facilities, it’s about creating a space where children feel safe, happy, and motivated to learn.
In less than a decade, Phostine has earned a reputation as a formidable force in education. Its pupils are not only excelling in competitions but are also being raised with strong values of discipline, creativity, and moral grounding. Parents describe the school as a place where children “find their voice” and “grow into better versions of themselves.” This human touch, balancing academic excellence with emotional and social growth—is what truly sets Phostine apart.
