Who we are
One of a kind in Gowon Estate and its environs
Palmville Schools was established with genuine love and passion to give affordable, quality education to pupils and students in Ipaja and its environs by Chief (Mrs.) Olori Ayodele Bello Bankole, the Iya Ewe of Lagos. That remains our watchword, and her legacy lives on through her successors.
Every year the school awards numerous merit-based scholarships to deserving students, and we encourage our staff to keep developing professionally. Our young, friendly, highly trained and dedicated teachers love training and developing future leaders.
A healthy student population encourages socialisation and true competition, and our pupils are actively involved in sports and co-curricular activities — including trade-test subjects and tech application training. What are you waiting for? Broaden your child’s horizons today.

Mrs. Lala HilaryIt is generally acknowledged that a good education is the key to a promising future. At Palmville, I obtained a top-notch education and this provided me the much-needed foundation to succeed academically and earn a First Class degree in International Relations from Caleb University, Lagos. My time in Palmville was brief but profoundly impactful.
Ms Omolabake N. OladimejiI am truly grateful for the opportunity to have my children at Palmville School. Since joining in September last year, I have seen tremendous growth in both their academic and personal development. What I especially appreciate is that the school doesn’t focus on academics alone — the emphasis on social activities, including sports, is something I deeply cherish. The supportive and nurturing environment has made their experience so positive, and the dedicated efforts of the teachers are truly commendable.
