Our Story
Three decades of nurturing young minds and building future leaders in Lagos, Nigeria.
Founded on Vision, Built on Excellence
Binta International Schools was established in 1994 by Wale Adenuga, with a vision to provide world-class education that nurtures both academic excellence and strong moral character.
Our name, BINTA, is an acronym that captures our core mission: Best In Nurturing Talents and Academics. It also pays homage to the beloved children’s show “Binta and Friends,” which was created by our founder.
From our humble beginnings in Ejigbo, Lagos, we have grown and expanded to our current location in Ajao Estate, Isolo. Throughout our journey, we have remained true to our founding principles of excellence and discipline.
Today, we proudly operate four educational levels—Crèche, Nursery, Basic School, and High School—serving hundreds of students and families in the Lagos community.
