School Librarian at Greensprings School

Greensprings School’s history dates back to January 1985 when it started off as a Montessori school offering nursery education to children aged 2-5 years. Founded In 1985 Since then, the school has grown remarkably and is today a leading institution offering a first-class education from the foundation stage to post-secondary levels.

From our first campus, situated in the heart of the Lagos mainland, which started with only 3 pupils, Greensprings School has grown tremendously in size and has also now established a state of the art campus on the Lekki Peninsula and Ikoyi, with a combined student population of over 2,500 pupils.
