Welcome to our world

One of the most respected schools in Akoka, Bariga and Shomolu.

Firm Base Schools began in Akoka as a crèche for busy working parents who needed a safe, comfortable place for their children. As those children grew, so did the school: a playgroup, a pre-school, then nursery and primary in 2003, a junior secondary in 2010 and a senior secondary in 2014.

Today the school catters to a large populatin of students, in a conducive environment that makes learning fun and prepares them with the skills and values to compete favourably in the 21st century.
