Our Journey Since 2009

Gracefield Academy began as a small nursery school in a rented building in Ikeja, Lagos. Founded by Dr. and Mrs. Adeyemi with just 12 pupils and 3 teachers, the school was born from a vision to provide quality education that Nigerian parents could trust.

Over the past 15 years, we have grown into a full-fledged institution serving over 500 students from Pre-Nursery through SS3. Our first set of SS3 students sat for WAEC in 2015, and we have maintained a 100% pass rate ever since.
