About Us
At KBI Schools, we believe true education goes beyond the classroom. Since 2012, our goal has been to provide a balanced experience that combines academic excellence, strong moral values, discipline, creativity, practical learning and technology — developing responsible, well-rounded young people from Crèche through Senior Secondary School.
We are committed to a safe, supportive and stimulating environment where every child discovers their potential, builds confidence, thinks critically, and prepares for a successful future. Through dedicated teachers, structured schemes of work, hands-on STEM and Digital Technologies education, and a strong culture of discipline, transparency and integrity, KBI Schools continues to pursue excellence in teaching and learning.
Register your child with KBI Schools and give them the opportunity to grow academically, morally, socially and personally in a supportive, excellence-driven environment.

kbi://about/history
Our History
Knowledge Base International Schools (KBI Schools) was established in 2012 in Moniya, Ibadan, on a simple conviction: that quality education should be built on both strong academics and strong character. What began as a small nursery and primary school serving families in the Moniya community has, over more than a decade, grown into a full Crèche-to-Senior-Secondary institution, taking pupils all the way through Common Entrance, BECE, WAEC and NECO.
Along the way, KBI Schools has built a tradition of annual milestones that mark its growth each year — Founders' Day, Inter-House Sports and Cultural Day among them — and has continued to modernise its academic offering, most recently introducing STEM, Coding & Robotics education and upgrading Computer Studies into a compulsory Digital Technologies subject, to keep pace with a changing world.

kbi://about/values
Our Values
In academics, in conduct, and in every activity we undertake — from Crèche play-based learning to SSS3 exam preparation.
We communicate fees, results and school decisions honestly, with no hidden charges.
Every child, regardless of section, is held to clear standards of conduct and respect.
In line with our motto, we teach students to carry knowledge lightly — to learn, achieve and lead without arrogance.
Through STEM, Coding & Robotics, we equip students with future-ready, practical skills rather than theory alone.
Parents, staff and management work together — reflected in our active PTA and open communication culture.

Management History
KBI Schools was founded in 2012 under the guidance of its Board of Directors, including Revd George Okikiolu and Funke Okikiolu-Fadesere — the latter having served as the school's own administrative head in its earlier years, before the couple relocated to Belfast. Babatunde Awoyemi, a STEM Education specialist trained in Physics and Atmospheric Physics at the University of Ibadan, has served as the school's academic consultant, driving the introduction of STEM, Coding & Robotics and the Prevocational Skills programme.
As the school expanded from its original nursery/primary base into a full Crèche-to-SSS3 institution, day-to-day administration passed to a resident School Administrator and Principal overseeing Nursery, Primary and Secondary (KBI College) operations respectively, while the Board continues to provide strategic and academic oversight.
kbi://about/prefects
Prefects
Student leadership at KBI College is built around a prefect system. Prefects are identified by badges and are expected to model the school's values of discipline and responsibility for their peers — selection is based on academic standing, conduct and demonstrated leadership, and prefects serve for one academic session.
