The school was founded by late Mr. S.O. Apata as Success Coaching Classes in 1980; the zealous Educationist went into pedagogical business. He started success- oriented coaching classes with a few desks and benches in the open air. As a result of the rapid academic progress of the learners, the population increased tremendously and the service was extended from Primary to Secondary Classes. In 1983, Parents/Guardians of the learners implored the Institution to start morning classes. The Late Proprietor responded positively and started Day Care and Morning Coaching classes under the supervision of his wives. To support the then growing Institution financially, the hardworking man was teaching effectively in three places vis: Ajumoni Grammar School in the morning, Apata memorial coaching classes in the afternoon and Jibowu High School in the evening. In September 1984, the Nursery School was formally opened and in September 1986, the Primary and High School were opened. Since its inception, the School has tenaciously held on to its motto,DISCIPLINE, KNOWLEDGE AND HARDWORK. In 1988, the Lagos State Ministry of Education gave the School a RECOGNITION. In 1989/90 Academic Year, WAEC approved the school as an Examination Centre, while in 1991 a provisional approval was given. A year later, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) approved the school as an Examination Centre for JAMB, Ordinary Level, HSC and Advanced Level. In the same year WAEC approved the school as an examination centre for SSCE. The School is fully recognized and approved by the Lagos State Government. The Institution also has the following facilities – Technical, Science and Computer Science Laboratories. Other facilities include Ultra Modern School Building, spacious halls, well-equipped library, and spacious sports field. Through dint of hard work, all the Pupils and Students attending the School are performing brilliantly well in both Internal and External Examinations. Consequently, the population of the three sections increased tremendously with the aid of transportation which conveys them to and fro the School. We always appreciate the Lagos State Ministry of Education for the continuous interest and support given to the school which has helped tremendously to improve and develop this institution.
