A joyful, structured foundation for learning, where young minds ages 3–11 discover, explore and grow at every stage.
Our primary programme draws on Montessori principles to create an environment where children are active participants in their own learning. Carefully prepared classrooms, thoughtful pacing, and deeply trained educators ensure every child is challenged at exactly the right level.
From Nursery through Year 6, learning is hands-on, purposeful, and joyful. Academic rigour and creative exploration are not in tension here — they are complementary, and we weave them together daily.
A structured phonics programme builds confident, fluent readers by Year 2. Book clubs, creative writing, and storytelling extend this love of language throughout primary school.
From counting and patterns to fractions and problem-solving, our mastery approach ensures every child builds genuine understanding rather than mere surface fluency.
Hands-on experiments in our dedicated primary science room spark natural curiosity. Children learn to observe, question, hypothesise, and draw their own conclusions.
Painting, sculpture, drama, and music are core to primary life here — not extras. Creative thinking is a skill that serves children in every walk of life.
Weekly assemblies, peer mentoring, and dedicated pastoral time build emotional intelligence, resilience, and the ability to form healthy, lasting friendships.
Daily physical activity, structured sports, and outdoor exploration keep children healthy, energised, and equipped with lifelong habits of movement and wellness.
Our dedicated primary library has over 3,000 carefully curated titles for young readers. Weekly library lessons are a highlight for every class.

A personal reflection on our educational journey, core foundational values, and our unwavering commitment to nurturing the next generation of global leaders.
Proprietress & Managing Principal
B.Ed, M.A. Educational Leadership, Ph.D.
Inspiring Excellence and building future leaders since 2015.
When I set out to establish this gateway of learning in January 1995, following a decade of dedicated service in the Lagos State Ministry of Education, my vision was clear and absolute. I did not want to build just another school; I desired to create a nurturing sanctuary where children could be holistically guided in all ramifications of life. As a daughter raised in a home built on deep faith, a proud wife to my husband Abiola, and a mother blessed with beautiful children, I know firsthand that the education of a child requires an equilibrium of uncompromising intellectual discipline and a boundless heart of gold.
Every child walking through our doors is received not merely as a student, but as a unique, starlight possibility to be guided into greatness. Our educational philosophy transcends standard textbook frameworks. We are here to intentionally spark creativity, cultivate unyielding moral integrity, and shape charismatic future leaders who will navigate an ever-changing world with wisdom, grace, and purposeful direction.
As the matriarch of the De-Stars family, my promise to you is a secure, modern, and inspiring environment where your child will be loved, challenged, and uniquely valued. Thank you for entrusting us with your most precious treasures, together, with a shared vision and determined spirits, we will build a brighter, more brilliant future for them all.
