Two people, one conviction: every child is capable of growth when given the right environment, the right guidance, and the opportunity to learn at their own pace.

A Visionary Educator. A Builder of Children. A Champion of Possibility.

With more than 17 years of experience in the classroom, Mrs. O. F. Abiodun has dedicated her professional life to one of the most meaningful callings—helping children discover who they can become. Her journey across Preschool, Primary, Junior Secondary and Senior Secondary education has given her a rare perspective on the educational journey of a child—from the earliest foundations to the development of independent thought, character and confidence. Yet, beyond her qualifications and years of experience lies what she considers her greatest responsibility: seeing the child. Mrs. Abiodun believes that behind every number, every assessment, every challenge and every milestone is a unique child with potential waiting to be nurtured. This conviction gave birth to Righteous Oaks International School (ROIS)—a school founded on the belief that education should do more than transfer knowledge. It should shape character, awaken curiosity, build confidence and inspire children to lead.

“We don’t compare children. We develop children.”

She is passionate about creating an environment where children feel seen, valued, challenged and supported; where a child's progress is celebrated, no matter how small the step may seem; and where learning becomes a journey of discovery rather than a race against others. Her vision is to raise children who are academically capable, emotionally grounded, confident in their abilities, respectful of others, curious about the world and courageous enough to pursue their dreams. Mrs. Abiodun is not simply building a school. She is building a legacy—one child at a time.
Her vision: Rooted in Faith. Open to Learn. Inspired to Lead. Success Is Bound. · Godly Mindset; Right Attitude.

Our teachers & mentors

More than a staff list

Hired for skill, kept for heart

We hire for qualifications first — and then we watch. Because in a school built on observation, the staff who stay longest are the ones who model what we teach: patience with children, excellence with work, and kindness with one another.

Every guide at ROIS completes termly training in Montessori method, child safeguarding and first aid, and every one of them is introduced to your family by name before your child's first week.

Our teachers observe, listen, ask questions, document progress and celebrate breakthroughs. And when a child struggles, we do not simply label the child — we ask, “What does this child need from us next?”
