Queen Jolade Schools is a thriving educational institution in Offa, Kwara State, dedicated since its founding in 2015 to providing quality education, fostering holistic development, and nurturing young minds for a promising future.
From a preparatory class of twelve, the school has grown into a complete primary education, expanding in 2018 and, in 2020, into Offa Royal College, our secondary division.
Born 1927 in Offa to the Anlelerin Royal Family, educated at Ibadan Grammar School and Washington State University, awarded a PhD in Geology from the University of Durham in 1959.
The first African Professor of Geology. Founder of the Geological Society of Africa. Chairman of WAEC. Chairman of Guaranty Trust Bank. Founding Chairman of Kwara State College of Technology.
In his 88th year, he founded Queen Jolade Preparatory School, built on a singular conviction: that true education ignites a flame.
A blended curriculum that meets diverse learners, taught by faculty who guide rather than instruct. We focus on critical thinking, digital literacy, and skill development from the earliest years.
Character education is woven through daily life. Respect, integrity, and responsibility are taught not as subjects, but as the texture of how the school operates.
Beyond the classroom, every child finds something they love. Sport. Music. Debate. The arts. Children lead richer lives at QJS than the timetable alone suggests.
To develop well-rounded, confident and responsible individuals who aspire to achieve their full potential, in a welcoming, safe and supportive environment where everyone is equal and all achievements are celebrated.
